The quiet drama 'Nomadland' makes a lot of sense for this strange Oscars year.
The new film Nomadland is a heartfelt look at the lives of itinerant Americans cast aside by the Great Recession. But it ignores how employers like Amazon are raking in profits off this new class of worker.
Nomadland is a piercing look into a country that’s becoming less and less inhabitable for its older men and women, and more stingy about who gets to dream. And, fundamentally, it’s a poignant portrait of a broken heart.
Frances McDormand is naturally great in Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of a book about older Americans who give up the security of home for the hope of work.
