Review of Nomadland

This film can be summarized with two emotions: Melancholy and apathy. Yes, we get to see a beautifully shot and thoughtfully acted piece of film, but what is it actually trying to tell us? As the audience we get flooded with emotional piano music while we follow a woman living in precarious conditions, meeting different people on her way. Sadly that's all there is to this movie, and it could have been so much more. There is no character development, we don't get to dive deep into the personality of anyone shown on screen, there is no controversy, no asking "Why?", no meaningful dialogues whatsoever, no anger, no sadness, just melancholy and apathy.
