    Proves that long slow shots from a foreign director whom we are all rooting for because it proves that everyone loves our society more..can win awards.

    A poetic and deeply moving reflection on freedom, resilience, and the rigid structures of modern life. A mesmerizing journey that challenges the idea that the conventional path is the only "correct" way to live, especially when that system exploits and discards people.The film is a life ode, beyond societal expectations.

    A slow, sad film. A fairly good documentary style outlining of a particular way of life in USA. Interesting to observe but not a great film. Frances McDormand did not have a lot of acting to do, so surprised that she was rated for this. She just wandered around a lot, doing different things, with very little dialogue or expression. I know that was the character, but it was not a difficult acting job. Some lovely scenic views, but mainly slow and sad.

    This movie definitely shows you a different perspective on what some people endure on their journey. I don’t think it should have won best picture, but it was a good film. The directing was excellent.

    Possibly the most overrated film of the 21st century, the director took a national treasure and just sucked the life and soul out of her; if that was the point maybe they’re in the wrong industry; last time I checked the entertainment industry was supposed to be entertaining; not a long drawn out video of dirty snow sludge and characters to match. (And a side note to the director, how brave of you to shove a camera in aging people’s faces, close ups of wear and tear are what film making is all about right)

    Well made and interesting, but it could have been a lot more interesting. I read the book a while ago and it was great to see some of the characters featured on the screen. The problem was McDormand. Endless shots of her looking sad and the film dragged. It was oblique and naturalistic but maybe a little too much for a Brit who is left wondering where she actually went on her travels, as it was never stated. I think it would have worked better as a documentary. The real nomads had fascinating lives and stories (whereas the fictional character didn't) and the film only really came alive when Swankie, Linda May and Bob Wells were on screen.

    Completely lost on me. Slow. Boring. Depressing. Pretty pictures. Would have made a wonderful ten-minute movie. Seriously. Yes, Frances was very authentic. But in the service of what? A very nice attempt to ennoble people who really didn't ask for such treatment. Some folks live in trailer parks in rusty tin cans on wheels and others inside mobile castles worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. They can't be lumped together. Just my opinion. The RV Epic that we didn't know we needed.
