Tom Crowley pack his bags
‘Home, is it just a word? Or something you carry within you?’ is a philosophical musing from Morrissey, taken from the bridge of his 2017 song ‘Home is a Question Mark’. Now, this question and the title of the song may seem a little rich for most people who have lived through 2020 and will say that they know exactly what a home is, thank you very much. However, this is the central question to Chloé Zhao’s new film
Nomadland, about a widow, Fern, played by Frances McDormand, who falls into America’s nomadic retiree subculture after the death of her husband and the loss of her job. She packs up in her humble campervan and hits the road taking seasonal jobs where she can.
Nomadland is a beautifully realised and affecting drama

Many people will not have been to the cinema for more than a year but, after months of closures, Britain’s cinemas will begin reopening from tomorrow and I, for one, cannot wait.
It goes almost without saying that cinemas offer bigger screens, fabulous sound and the deepest, darkest of blackouts, but what I’ve really missed is the concentration. At the cinema there’s no sudden need to boil a kettle, repel marauding teenagers or pause the latest Netflix offering while you answer the door.
Instead, when the lights go down there’s just you and your chosen film for the next couple of hours. Perhaps to be discussed over a glass of wine afterwards. Bliss!
