Nomadland

"Chloé Zhao has been standing out in recent years. After all, the director has been proving to be a name to be followed, with an extremely authorial work and a singular view of the reality of the American dream, in addition to the large portion of the population that is swallowed up by the ideals of freedom. As in her previous film, 'Nomadland', Zhao focuses her gaze on the heart of the United States, the forgotten and abandoned, people who live as nomads, looking for a way to escape the capitalist rat race, which deprives individuals of their personality. To do this, in addition to the spectacular Frances McDormand, who delivers an extremely intimate and touching performance, Zhao works mainly with non-actors, which places the film in a unique space between fiction and reality. Real people with real stories, marginalized and ignored by society who receive the opportunity of a dignified portrait, without glamor or romanticization, but understanding and welcoming. Thus, 'Nomadland' is consecrated as a powerful realistic drama, which gives voice to the ignored and reminds of the vastness and plurality of the country and its people."
