Nomad land - Movie

 2020. I have been wanting to watch this ever since I heard about it. A take on American nomads, who took off in their vans since they became homeless, and lived like nomads. 

So you are by yourself, independent by choice or otherwise, alone, and all you have with the money you got is the van to stay. Not many places allow you to stay and some places it gets very cold and the van has problems, you get sick, you run out of money etc etc.

But everyone has been young once, has had dreams, has become old and their dreams are dying out and all one now has to do is to clutch on to the little dignity that is left in their fight for survival. Something about these people - they do not want to live with others despite the many offers they get - they are nomads at heart.

Frances McDormand as always turns in a powerful performance. No wonder she got the Oscar.
