"NOMADLAND looks to the horizon of an unseen America. Chloé Zhao's richly rendered portrait of one woman's life journey is a meditation on transience - exploring the natural need to be a neighbor alongside the freedom of isolation offered by the sweeping majesty of nature. The story's soul is embodied by the incomparable Frances McDormand, whose uncompromising turn as a woman on the fringe allows us to consider ourselves boldly alone because we know we'll see each other down the road again." -The American Film Institute
