Movie Review: Nomadland

I’ve seen this two days after Three Billboards. Obviously, Frances McDormand is playing herself in both movies and both are about her. Which isn’t a bad thing. She is the perfect cast for this laconic glimpse into the dark side of the American Dream. It’s one of the rare movies that gives you cues to start thinking about yourself and your life. At times, it’s overly exerted and too much in your face but I can forgive this easily. An important movie showing us a true van life, not the fake Instagram #vanlife.
