Nomadland, Chloé Zhao’s Powerful Third Feature, Is A Moving and Sober Look Into America’s Identity “Nomadland,” like Zhao’s previous masterpiece “The Rider,” celebrates the identity and richness of the American West in the most poetic way you can ever imagine. In the film, those travelers (or, nomads) don’t live in a house, yet they feel at home and never lose themselves. These nomads reject the idea of the middle class and live in their own version of the American dream. They free themselves from the system and enjoy independence, aiming to see more and feel more. Yet, they, like all human beings, still need connections. Although the film doesn’t romanticize the life of hitting the road, Zhao beautifully delivers a quiet joy from these nomads’ lives. From here, you will share the same freedom, frustrations, and joyousness with these nomads. Although Frances McDormand is one of the most legendary actresses on screen, she blends in with these real-life nomads gracefully. Through her expression, not only this complex woman but also the world of “Nomadland” come alive. Home is wherever we are, and home is where we never feel alone. This is the world we should fight for, where people help the people instead of standing against each other. Houseless but not homeless. We will see each other down the road. Read the full review.
