The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

Sep 12, 2020

Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland is an utterly inspired docu-fictional hybrid, like her previous feature The Rider. It is a gentle, compassionate, questioning film about the American soul. Read full review

A portrait of America that is devastating and freeing, bursting with sorrow and empathy. Read full review

Dana Stevens

Dec 2, 2020

Fern’s need for constant movement, McDormand implies in a performance of extraordinary depth and ambiguity, is both a search for something and an escape from something else, and not even she seems completely sure what either something is. Read full review

The journey Zhao has crafted is marvelous, exploring literal peaks and valleys as well as emotional ones. Read full review

As this flinty, self-sufficient, and geographically unmoored woman, McDormand provides a blend of toughness and vulnerability that’s a perfect fit for the material. Read full review

Katie Rife

Nomadland is, in some ways, a condemnation of a system that rewards decades of corporate loyalty with poverty and insecurity. But it’s also remarkably clear-eyed and honest about the pleasures and benefits of life on the road, its blend of documentary and fiction allowing those on the margins to tell their stories on their own terms.

The Film Stage David Katz

Sep 12, 2020

Nomadland is initially stirring with its imaginative utilization of a Hollywood star as Zhao places McDormand, sometimes jarringly, right in the real world. But it ultimately reverts to homilies, offering a flinty, exciting character a bland third-act volte-face. Read full review

This is a truly, truly special movie. It captures the beauty of humanity with grace, profundity, and empathy while also painting a nuanced portrait of the social ills of our society.

It captures the beauty of humanity with grace, profundity, and empathy while also painting a nuanced portrait of the social ills of our society. What I love about this film is that, in addition to never patronizing its subjects nor its audience, it's not a movie that exists to just tell you "what's wrong with America." This so easily could have been an angry movie about how we've mistreated these people on the margins of our society, but Chloe Zhao recognized that what these people want is not our sympathy. Instead, she dug deeper and told a compassionate, emotional, beautiful story about the way the human spirit triumphs, grows, and heals even in the face of marginalization and inequity without giving the "easy" answers to the social problems it recognizes. Easily among the best of the year.… Expand
