The directorial debut of chloe zhao, the oscar winner of 2021 oscars. The budget is low on a director making a start on films but chloe zhao delivers. 80% of the film is johnny winters life in reality who is the protagonist and many family members play on the film. With its low budget its not much different than the oscar winning nomadlands if not less of a documentary. Chloe zhao has filling moments of beautiful scenes throughout the film just like nomadland. The acting is amateur but it does seem thought provoked and well orchestrated, it seems to me there was a bit of experimentation from all sides of the crew to get it right, but they so get it right, in all the acting, cinematography, plot and sounds. Zhao did have a character since then on her films.
