A wonderful depiction of great loss, fortitude, sense of adventure and compassion during the Great Recession, this film comes at a time when the world is hurtling towards another recession - given the incessant ebbs and flows of the current COVID-19 pandemic. The cynosure of all critical eyes at this year’s much delayed awards season, Chloe Zhao’s intimately rendered tale of a woman in her 60s embarking on a journey through the Western United States after losing everything in the Great Recession is visually stunning, conveying strong emotion through a vividly empathetic canvas.
