Nomadland - does this lifestyle happen in uk

[MrsLargeEmbodied]

Anyone seen the film?

I did when cinemas re-opened in April?? It did not seem a lifestyle that nomadic people have in the UK.

Absolutely loved it. I was worried it was going to be very depressing, but found the first half in particular really uplifting. There was such a sense of support and community among the group. Frances McDormand is just wonderful in everything she is in

No idea if there is a similar group of people in the UK. It seemed like a pretty vulnerable and scary way to live, especially with the state of healthcare in the US

Yes there are people living this lifestyle in the UK. I was part of that community for a while. I found it very hard going but most people I knew in the community loved it.

Yes it is a thing in the UK.

Fabulous film

I was the same OP, I expected it to be depressing but there were many things about the nomadic lifestyle which are actually quite appealing and I loved the way the 'community' aspect was portrayed

I have no idea how many people in the UK live in this manner, I imagine the options for seasonal work etc are less widespread than in America

'I found it very hard going but most people I knew in the community loved it.'

Yes that's the word - hard. The lifestyle seemed relentlessly hard. Didn't appeal to me at all

Did you know where this film is available to watch in the UK?

Think it's on Amazon
