Nomadland (2020)
9/10
A Bittersweet Film That Is Not Only About The Modern Nomadic Experience, But About Simplifying Our Lives, The Quest For Independence, And America's Wondrous Landscape.
2 March 2023
I thought of maybe giving this film an 8/10, but then I realized that after watching it three times, I cannot deny that it really moves me. So despite its flaws, I feel it's right to give it a rare 9/10. What I mean is I very rarely give a movie anything more then 8.

It's not only a film about the modern nomadic experience, but it's a film about independence and alternative living. It's about simplifying our lives.

It is also about the beauty of the American landscape, which is revealed in many of its scenes. In one sense the film is like a love letter to America's natural wonders.

Lastly, it's about one womans quest for self expression, and the journey she takes towards the centre of herself. In the process she clearly needs inner healing, though we are never quite sure where she is in that respect.

So again, despite its flaws, I have decided to rate it high for it's memorable and emotional story.
