It's an okay film. Kind of confusing in the beginning. After about 15 minutes I thought it was just going to be a docudrama and almost turned it off. It does continue to evolve in that theme but with a little more development of Ferns character and background. It was refreshing to see Mr. Strathairn have a role.
Ms. McDermott is a great actress but to receive the Oscar for Nomadland? Really?
Not a whole lot of dialogue in the film and her natural demeanor greatly lends to the character. I've seen Viola Davis in "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" and there's a whole lot more character there to draw on Ms. Davis talent. It's a flashback to the Out of Africa - Color Purple debacle in '86.
