Fresh off of winning the Academy Award for Best Picture, 20th Century Studios is releasing Chloé Zhao’s masterful road movie Nomadland on Blu-ray and Digital today.
The film, which also got Zhao her first Oscar for Best Director and Frances McDormand her third Oscar for Best Actress, is one that I have been championing since I saw it at TIFF last year. It was my second favourite movie of 2020, and a very powerful work that, in my opinion, deserves all of the praise and awards it has gotten.
While the film is already available to stream on Disney Plus in Canada (Hulu in the United States), I’m glad it’s getting a Blu-ray release for us physical media collectors. I was only sent a digital copy for review, but look forward to adding the Blu-ray to my Best Picture winners collection in the future.
For more on the film itself, you can read my full review from TIFF right here.
The Blu-ray includes the following bonus features:
- The Forgotten America (Featurette)
- Deleted Scenes
- Lunch Interrupted
- A Gift From God
- Telluride Premiere Q&A with Frances McDormand and Chloé Zhao
Nomadland is a 20th Century Studios release. It’s 109 minutes and rated R.
Street Date: June 8th, 2021
