Nomadland

2020 · Drama · Chloé Zhao · 1h 47m

After her town in Nevada empties out, a woman in her sixties packs her life into a van and takes seasonal work across the American west. Not much plot, real people playing themselves, a lot of sky.

    2016 · Drama

    A white bricklayer and a Black woman marry in Virginia in 1958, where that is against the law, and are arrested in their own bedroom. Quiet and undramatic, with far more kitchen than courtroom.

    2023 · Drama

    A fourteen-year-old army daughter in Germany is invited to a party at Elvis Presley's house, and spends the next decade mostly waiting for him inside Graceland. Quiet and slow, almost entirely from her side of the room.

    2020 · Drama

    A Korean family move to a patch of Arkansas farmland in the 1980s so the father can grow vegetables to sell, and the grandmother comes over to help. Gentle and slow, seen largely through the youngest boy.
