Some terrific acting in this film, a lot of it by non-actors. Director and co-screenplay adapter, Chloe Zhao became a favorite of mine after seeing her 2017 film THE RIDER. That film also included a lot of non-actors more or less playing themselves, as does NOMADLAND. In the former I found it worked seamlessly. In the latter, at times I was a little distracted by guessing who were the real nomads portraying more or less themselves.
Otherwise it's a quietly stunning movie with another brave performance by Frances McDormand. I only wish I could have seen it on a big screen to fully appreciate some of the Western vistas displayed. And I'm still not sure how I feel about the ending. Not necessarily a bad thing.
