Description

Following the closure of a gypsum mine in the rural Nevada town she calls home, Fern (Frances McDormand) packs her van and sets off on the road. Exploring life outside conventional society as a modern-day nomad, Fern soon discovers a resilience and resourcefulness that present her with experiences unlike any she’s known before. Along the way in this story of hope, she meets other nomads who become mentors in her life amidst the vast, sometimes breathtaking landscape of the American West. From Searchlight Pictures and acclaimed director Chloé Zhao, NOMADLAND features real-life nomads Linda May, Swankie and Bob Wells. With care and insight, Zhao crafted the screenplay, based on Jessica Bruder’s book “Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century.” McDormand brings Fern to life with a powerful, authentic performance. Also starring David Strathairn in a gripping turn as a man Fern befriends, NOMADLAND is a fascinating celebration of humanity, independence and adventure.

  • I personally liked this movie

    I liked this movie a lot mostly because it emphasizes the hardships and the way our society has been basically if you don’t have lots of money then get out. Not everyone comes from a family of money. Our government wants people to work their whole lives just so they can stuff their pockets.
  • Great Acting, Cliche In Every Other Way

    Great acting performances only go so far when there is virtually no plot, no depth and no point to a movie. I think it’s a joke for anyone to say this is ‘Best Picture’ type stuff. You don’t have to settle for some ridiculous, artsy and, frankly, uber-pretentious overdone film like Nomadland to find a Best Picture. This movie is just straight up boring and lifeless. There’s no way around it.

    Typical boring drawn out film. Only reason it won oscar was the fact that its director was Chinese dissident
  • Fooled you good

    There are some films that are so slow that they hope you’re fooled into thinking they are artsy. This obviously takes the award.
  • Too horrible for words

    Nomanland is a waste of time. Hours you’ll never get back. The movie never developed any type of plausible or story-worthy plot. There was never a time where a character’s development arched or when the audience was connected to the bigger holistic message. I kept wanting to like it, because F. M. is an amazing actor. What a waste of something that could have been epic.

    This staged documentary captures the dreary existence of people who choose or fall into life in an RV. It is pretty much life from job to job, but in the new west it's not on horseback. Take it one step further and you have the feral people lately being called "unhoused" but to see that life watch Leave No Trace.
  • Beautiful cinema.

    Where depth and imagination have been lobotomized by lowest common denominators. There are the atrophic substrata of viewers that just won’t get it.
  • people are not scared enough, yet; and the stories like this movie are becoming norm.

    scamazon is such a destructing force in all working communities; as much as fauxnews is brainwashing… the feable-minded are trully unaware of the irreparable damage being built by this century’s orange-skinned mussolini… need more stories like this, and just maybe the snakes can be stomped out with love, truth and history.

    This is a totally bleak and depressing film felt like I was at a funeral.
  • That is not a film!!!

    That was a waste of time. I felt like I was watching a non eventful documentary vastly moreso than a story that has arcs. This just had a negative slope from minute one. I can’t rate the acting since it was just so bad of a story.
