Nomadland

This is the Oscar winner for...uh, I've lost track. 2020? Anyway, it got lots of rave reviews and it was the sort of film Ivy would probably enjoy, so we got hold of it to make up our own minds.
   It's very well done. Given that some of the characters are real and some actors, it's very had to tell where the line blurs (although thinking logically about some of the events portrayed yields some pretty big clues).
   Is it a worthy Oscar winner? I'm not so sure. I think it will have it's moment of glory, but then fade away (as Parasite is already doing). Perhaps there is a lack of competition, or perhaps the Oscars have lost their way. Not for me to say, but I will say that Nomadland is a good film but, in my opinion, not a memorable Oscar winner.
