What are the reviews like for Nomadland?

Esquire said: “Chloe Zhao’s film is a a poetic Malickian ode to the pioneering nature of the restless American spirit.”

The Seattle Times wrote: “Zhao shows us the difficulty of this life – the endless laundromats, the cramped bed in the van, the cold, the possessions left behind – but also its beauty and freedom.”

The Atlantic praised the film’s director, and said: “Zhao places the failed promises of the American dream alongside some of its most beautiful, breathtaking vistas, as Fern pursues a life that isn’t driven by a search for success and wealth.”
