What's it about
Following the economic collapse of a company town in rural Nevada, Fern packs her van and sets off, exploring a life outside of conventional society as a modern-day nomad. The film features real nomads as Fern's mentors and comrades.
Nomadland, with its beautiful simplicity, and wonderful performances, manages to be an elegant, profoundly moving film which shows the real value of living, rather than just surviving.
The sheer compassion of Zhao's direction is one of the film's most elemental pleasures, while McDormand is one of those rare actors who can somehow make the act of listening as thrilling as a barnstorming speech.
