I didn't like Nomadland, and my wife and daughter flat out hated it.
If I wanted to watch a documentary about nomadic people, I'd actually watch a documentary. Not one with rich Hollywood actress hanging out with nomads making a fake story.
Just my opinion, I know it won a gaggle of Oscars and critics loved it and presumably some non-critics did too so I'm probably in the minority.
And I should say, I'm not someone who needs lots of action or positivity to enjoy a show or movie. I just finished Mare of Easttown, which was pretty depressing, and loved it.
