Slasher movies haven't changed much since the 1980s, except now they have more diverse casts of characters and the scriptwriters don't even attempt to give the killer any kind of logical motive. Even the title has nothing to do with what happens in the film.
I must have watched this >30 times over the years, and it's one of my all-time favourite films. A work of true genius.
10/10.

There is an even worse looking sequel!

I'd like to see that! I'm surprised they were even able to make it without breaching any copyrights, trademarks or whatever. It looks like it cost about 50p.
Fascinating insight into an absolute genius with a flawed personal nature.
10/10
The dialogue is idiotic and some of the supporting cast give epically bad performances.
When the "action" started it got rather boring for a while (I fell asleep several times and had to keep rewinding), but eventually it gets really really stupid and actually quite entertaining. I quite liked it.
(Edit: I thought there was something odd about the end credits - they looked like a TV show - so I checked IMDB. Apparently it was originally a 15-episode TV series, each episode only about 10 minutes long and shown on consecutive nights. That explains the weird pacing...)
Anyway, I thought the film was really well done..
I was raised on Elvis - mum was a massive fan.. the wife wasn’t so much.. we both enjoyed it, although we both thought it was sad..
Am sure Nomadland will have been reviewed previously, but today I finally got to see this amazing triumph made by Chloe Zhao and starring Frances Macdormand and David Strathairn.
If the objective is to actually tell a story, Zhao nails it completely via the most subtle cinematography, acting and editing. This is a slow and beautiful film covering a most desperate and sad subject - how we as individuals living within society handle change, economic downturn, ageing, health, family issues and ultimately our own mortality.
Macdormand is magnetic as Fern; the widow pushed out onto the road. She discovers a new world of poverty and communities living out of RVs and vans, and simultaneously rejecting conventional lifestyle. This all takes place amidst the breathtaking abundant/desolate Nevada desert.
It is a desperately poignant film, however also bringing hope as Fern finds her calling and accepts a new way of life.
10/10
