Evan C Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Looks like I really need to watch Nomandland. If anyone knows anything about where to stream it, let me know.

No hope. I think it will be back in theaters in Feb or March, but that is still hopeless for many of us. Quote A foreign movie can't be stupid.-from the film Armin Link to post Share on other sites

Michael S Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 I watched so few new films in 2020 that I couldn't even approximate a best-of list. I'm looking forward to seeing Minari, whenever it happens to hit streaming platforms. Nomadland too. I'm very fond of Sound of Metal. I didn't expect to be. I sometimes find hyped American "indie" films to be too self-conscious, sanctimonious, or superficial (<-- I didn't really plan the alliteration here; it just came out this way ), and therefore prejudge them, whether fairly or not. But Sound of Metal is an interesting character study, with a great central performance, and it offers attention, perspective, and agency to a group of people (the deaf) who have habitually been overlooked, ignored, misrepresented, or stereotyped in movies. I love the film's ending as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
