    • Quotes

      Receptionist: Does he have Alzheimer's?

      David Grant: No, he just believes what people tell him.

      Receptionist: That's too bad.

    • Crazy credits
      The film opens with the 1960s Paramount widescreen logo.
    • Alternate versions
      Alexander Payne claimed a color version was created in an effort to appease Paramount Vantage studio executives over releasing a black and white film. Although he had no plans or intentions of ever releasing it to the public, it was shown on premium movie channel Epix as a "World Color Premiere" at 10:00 pm EST on August 10, 2014, immediately following the 8:00 pm premiere of the black and white version.

    Bruce Dern Oscar worthy performance

    Bruce Dern gives the performance of his life. He is wonderful. He maintains the quality of tuning in and out of reality throughout the film. Typical of someone with dementia, you are never really sure if he's there or not. There is a moment in the film when he drives and you can just see him glow and come alive.

    This is not a film for everyone because it moves slow, but true movie buffs will love it.

    Filmed in black and white and bleak (if that were a color) it's a son that takes his father on a road trip

    It's quietly poignant, with a lot of very funny moments in it. When the mother is in the scene, she steals every one.

    The cousins are a riot and the family members are a cast of characters. This is the sort of film that you leave but doesn't leave you.
