Carlos Aguilar Variety Intimate in its scope, yet emotionally monumental, this debut feature by director Cole Webley... resonates for how spontaneously the interactions seem to unfold, as if sparked by reality in front of the camera. Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com Well-crafted indie movie. Takes the audience on a journey—but not to a special place. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Aisha Harris NPR The film is heavy on immaculately lit imagery of desert highway and small-town life and a little too lean on narrative details until the very end, but the adolescent Wright is particularly affecting. Feb 28, 2025 Full Review David Gonzalez The Cinematic Reel Cole Webley’s powerhouse debut, Omaha, delivered an emotional knockout. Exploring the dynamics of parenthood, sacrifice, and resilience, Omaha is a striking and profoundly moving portrait of a family in crisis. Rated: 4/5 Mar 5, 2025 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film There may be a rumbling of trouble in the background, but Machoian and Webley capture the way that this doesn’t impinge on the feeling of joy that can come in a moment. Rated: 4/5 Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Despite its bleakness, the film finds moments of hope -- especially when it shows how small acts of kindness can have a profound impact. It’s a heavy watch, but also a reminder of resilience and love in the face of hardship. Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
