"The reason I wish I’d seen Nomadland on the big screen is that Zhao’s film echoes the visual vocabulary that says 'America,' as painted in perhaps that most American of genres: the Western, with its vistas, sunsets, and silhouettes. It’s familiar, and it quietly beckons us to consider how Fern’s life is like the idealistic version of the frontier that the movies have shown us on the silver screen in the past. Then it invites us to notice how, for Fern, things are very, very different."
~ A. Wilkinson
"Oscars Best Picture winner Nomadland doesn’t just tell a story about America. It embodies it."
