Nomadland (2020)
9/10
A real cinema
19 March 2021
"Home is just a word? or is it something you carry within you?" I'd love to start my review with this quote, it sends all the messages the movie has tried to send. The movie talks about a woman who has lost her home, husband, job and everything actually and she decided to go on a journey to live the nomad life and the story goes along to see her trials for redemption, redemption from loneliness. And the movie pointed to very important topics like capitalism and how it makes people waste their whole life doing something and literally die without doing anything they wanted to do and not enjoy a second from their lives.

I really loved how the music started and ended in a specific time, I tried to figure out what is the right expression to tell and I ended up with "The music was talking" it was speaking Fern's emotions and asking questions then answering at the end of the scene.

An essay won't be enough for me to tell you how much I loved the cinematography. actually seeing the sky of the American West is enough, I felt the beauty of the nature of the American West from my home in Cairo.

Frances McDormand's performance was a real A class one, she is stunning -as always- and it won't be a surprise if she won her third Oscars with this performance. and by talking about the performances, Are those people actors or they're just real persons who live this lifestyle I would be surprised if I know they're actors, and if they're then Chapeau to the casting choices they mastered their roles.

But there was something a little bit confusing for me, the movie was slow-paced and that's not what confused me, I was confused with the rapid development, there were some scenes that are just going the camera with Fern's walks or something then cut then Fern in another place with different people. and that's all I hated about this movie.
