‘Nomadland’
Chloé Zhao’s critically-acclaimed 2020 drama, Nomadland, is finally available for the general public to watch, both in theaters and streaming on Hulu. You don’t want to miss this one, and not just because Frances McDormand will almost definitely secure her sixth Oscar nomination. That said, McDormand does deliver an extraordinary performance as Fern, a woman who moves into her van out of financial necessity. And Fern is not the only one. As it turns out, there is an entire subculture of elderly folks who have turned to the nomad lifestyle; supporting each other because no one else will. Nomadland is a gorgeous, heartbreaking, and empathetic portrayal of the people America pushed to the sidelines.
