Chloé Zhao’s beautifully moving ode to American wanderlust, which Searchlight Pictures will release in December. Even in a year when the usual Oscar-season logic has been dramatically shaken up, “Nomadland” was instantly hailed in both Venice and Toronto as an obvious awards contender, especially for Zhao’s exquisite direction and Frances McDormand’s achingly great lead performance.
Another picture I wouldn’t have minded seeing with a crowd, at least for its breath-catching first half-hour: the Netflix-acquired “Pieces of a Woman,” a blistering melodrama from the Hungarian auteur Kornél Mundruczó , making his English-language debut.
