Nomad (noun): A person who does not stay long in the same place; a wanderer. Chloe Zhao clearly set out to tell a specific story about the lifestyle, challenges & character of a modern day nomad. A slice out of the life of Fern, played by Academy Award winning actress Frances McDormand (Fargo, Three Billboards, Almost Famous), is what we track across the vastness of the American west as she travels from place to place, searching. Wandering. We like to describe this one as poetry in motion, and we don't think it will take you long to see why this film is a Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards!
So without further delay, enjoy our review of 3 time Academy Award winning film, Nomadland!
