The movie follows the journey of Fern (McDormand), who, after the economic collapse of her hometown in Empire, Nevada, packs her van and sets off on the road exploring a life outside of conventional society as a modern-day nomad. 

Zhao's film also features real nomads Linda May, Charlene Swankie and Bob Wells as Fern's mentors and comrades in her exploration through the vast landscape of the American West.

The story is based on the non-fiction book NOMADLAND: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder.

Despite being a low budget drama, Nomadland received industry praise, with a 94 per cent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Well, there's your Friday plans sorted.
