REVIEWS:
Chloe Zhao’s thoughtful balance of majesty and intimacy makes Nomadland one of the most accomplished films of the year, an emotional tour de force that moves you but never imposes or manipulates. News.com.au
Zhao once again relies on mixed methods, non-fiction rendered into compellingly realistic drama thanks to a cast of non-professional actors playing versions of themselves. The result is as stimulating and satisfying as it is iffy and curious. Rolling Stone
‘Nomadland’is sort of a modern-day, existential equivalent of Walden Pondset in the American West. The promise Chlo Zhao showed in ‘The Rider’ three years ago is fulfilled here…with a little help from one of the finest actresses on the planet. leonardmaltin.com
Nomadland is a humanist masterpiece … This is a quiet film, but never a dull one, with shots and themes that will continue to resonate … Crooked Marquee
