Makes you realize how different people are from what you think is normal.
The film, directed by Chloé Zhao, is an awards-season favorite, and it doesn’t let you forget that for a second. Beneath the veneer of prestige, however, is a prescient and affecting story of a lost American class: van dwellers.
For all the majesty and naturalistic realism of its imagery, Nomadland is nevertheless full of sublime, uncanny details that lift it somewhat above the fray.
The journey Zhao has crafted is marvelous, exploring literal peaks and valleys as well as emotional ones.
