Pretentious Trash.

Very few movies can make me think: "I can do better, I can be a director."

What a trash movie, and the title Nomadland is misleading, it should call "A woman wondering 100 minutes doing nothing."

There was absolutely nothing “pretentious” about it. I’m convinced that’s the only adjective some people know.

I suspect the majority of the people using it dont actualy know what it means.

I don’t think I lasted more than 30 minutes before I turned it off the first time. The second time I lasted 45 minutes. Not entertaining in the least to someone who has been watching nomads on YouTube for 5 years.

i didnt care for any characters and there wasnt a story, it went nowhere, and had no ending
pretty pointless, 4/10

how can a movie about nomads living the most precarious of existences be 'pretentious'

i dont think you know what that word means

People misuse "pretentious" more than any other word. It's a strange phenomenon.

Why do dumb people always use the word "pretentious"?

Why do pretentious people always use the word "dumb"?

Always choose to be pretentious over dumb.
