I know, I’m in the minority when it comes to my belief that “Nomadland” is an unexceptional film. Alas, time will not be kind to Zhao’s opus, it’s just a very well-timed film for the current virtue-signaling zeitgeist. it also helps that it was released in a year where most of the great movies got delayed to 2021 or until theatres fully re-open. Not “Nomadland,” it made sure to jump on the opportunity and take advantage of the skimp amount of quality films. And yet, there were so many better-directed movies to choose from this past year: Eliza Hittman’s “Never Rarely Sometimes Always,” Steve McQueen’s “Lovers Rock,” Kelly Reichardt’s “First Cow,” Darius Marder’s “Sound of Metal,” just to name a few. “Nomadland” will win Best Picture and Zhao the Best Director Oscar.
