Nomadland

After Empire, Nevada, shuts the plant, Fern lives in a van and follows the seasonal work. Zhao fills the road with people who are not playing a part, and Frances McDormand plays Fern as one of them. The film does not turn the van into a lesson about freedom. A kind man offers a spare room. Fern looks at it and keeps the keys. The Searchlight trailer is the desert and the Amazon warehouse. The subject is the choice to leave a driveway.
