It's pretty enough (the days in Nomadland, as it happens, consisting mostly of golden hour), but it felt a bit like ticking the boxes, from the cliché soundtrack to the superficial wisdoms strewn in. Underwhelming. (I could point out that Frances McDormand is great - but does anybody still doubt that?)

The storytelling style portrays life through events; the narrative follows a character that tries to find a place to stay in life. It has an emotional side that draws empathy of the audience. Decent direction, screenplay and message, but nothing special.

There is a great tradition of American movies that follow individuals who, for one reason or another, couldn't function in society anymore and had to depart. And what awaits them when they step through the broken suburban fence (as McDormand does in the finale) is the rough American landscape, in every sense of the word. The film has an unobtrusive, elegiac quality that gives it the sense of always having been here, and Zhao finding and shaping it. She is indebted, but it's a perfect work.

I'll never argue that Frances McDormand isn't a primary reason to see a movie; she's tremendous and that holds true here. I found myself almost equally captivated by the surrounding personalities: Linda, Bob, Swankie and others really helped to flesh this out - much appreciated, considering I can sometimes struggle to "get into" movies like this. There's so much super-interesting commentary here on capitalism and nomad culture that can be taken in a bunch of directions. Watch multiple times.

Unlike with The Rider, Zhao has a lead performer capable of handling the material. McDormand is understated but genuine, powerful but vulnerable. Zhao uses wide shots to mimic the solitary nature of being on the road and having the world at your feet, making it both a little lonely and empowering. Beautiful directing. Excellent selection of music as well to reinforce all of this. Doesn't need to force bullshit to gain emotional resonance; it's too heartfelt and honest for that.

Klasik tabir olacak ama Nomadland, "hayatın ta kendisi". Sizi, acı-tatlı bir hüzünle sararken, yalnız bir ruhun etrafında toplanan insan manzaralarıyla, doğayla iç içe, eşsiz bir yolculuğa çıkarıyor; bu yolculuk, hiçbir yere ait olmayanlar için. Çok hoştu ve gerçekten anlamlıydı.

A vast improvent on Zhao's previous film, the Rider. Zhao has a talent in photographing faces in the desolate and beatiful landscapes. Here the film is anchored around the weather beaten faces of american nomads- the story of the America that got left behind.
