Nomadland (2020)
What a beautiful film!
This film is highly emotional and hits at home for me closer than most. Having lived in a car myself I completely understood the serious situation that Francis had gone through. Homelessness is a major problem but so is living in your car. And the fact that it's hard to find a place to park in the city without being asked to move is another issue. My only issue is I felt the story could have moved forward more quickly. Cinematography feels very indie which is a good thing. It makes everything feel raw and almost like watching a documentary. I didn't even realize David Strathairn was in this until the end credits. I expect this to go on the Oscars watchlist right away!
The Lost Tree (2016)
Dark, emotional indie that's nicely done
This film is not perfect but it kept my interests the entire time. The feeling that this movie made me feel was a feeling of sadness, fear, mystery. It kept me interest throughout. The acting was fairly decent with a special nod to Scott Grimes for his comical relief.
That's not to say the film didn't have it's problems. There were budgetary restraints but that said, the effects in this film were pretty good. There were some sound issues as well. The third act is very good as the pace goes from slow to very fast. Overall, I enjoyed this film.
