This 2020 film, directed by Chloé Zhao and starring Frances McDormand, won them both Academy Awards for their work. The movie was adapted from a 2017 nonfiction book by Jessica Bruder — what is the title of both the film and book?

  • A “Pieces of a Woman”
  • B “Promising Young Woman”
  • C “Nomadland”
  • D “Minari”
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

From A.O. Scott’s 2021 review of the film:

Based on Jessica Bruder’s lively, thoroughly reported book of the same name, “Nomadland” stars Frances McDormand as Fern, a fictional former resident of a formerly real place. The movie begins with the end of Empire, Nev., a company town that officially went out of existence in late 2010, after the local gypsum mine and the Sheetrock factory shut down. Fern, a widow, takes to the highway in a white van that she christens with the name Vanguard and customizes with a sleeping alcove, a cooking area and a storage space for the few keepsakes from her previous life. Fern and Vanguard join a rolling, dispersed tribe — a subculture and a literal movement of itinerant Americans and their vehicles, an unsettled nation within the boundaries of the U.S.A.
