Review of Nomadland (2021) by Alison Willmore for New York Magazine (Vulture) — 16 Sep 2020
Through these characters, Zhao is able to examine the idea of wide-open frontiers without nostalgia or the need to pathologize the parts of our social structures that are eroding or have failed. Those shots of Fern, a tiny, determined dot out there on a stunning panorama, are breathtaking and elegiac.
She is a woman eking out the life she wants to lead, a woman who has gone to look for America.
