Nomadland

As the 2021 winner of Best Picture at the Oscars, Nomadland was an unconventional choice, being the film with the least plot and action among the nominees. However, it offers a unique and therapeutic viewing experience that rewards viewers for their patience. Frances McDormand plays Fern, who decides to live as a nomad, traveling the country in her van. Predominately made up of conversations and scenic shots, the film offers an observant look at this specific lifestyle.


Paterson

Paterson follows a week in the life of the titular character, played by Adam Driver. He’s a bus driver who lives with his wife, follows the same daily routine, and writes poetry. While Paterson doesn’t sound like the most exciting movie, it works as a quiet observation of everyday life and the important little details that make it up. If viewers are willing to take a contemplative and philosophical journey, they’ll be rewarded. Plus, Driver is reliably compelling, as always. 


Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood is Quentin Tarantino’s love letter to the golden age of cinema during the ‘60s. The film focuses on Rick Dalton, a washed-up actor, and his stunt double Cliff Booth as they try to reclaim their old success. Most of the runtime is dedicated to Rick and Cliff chasing opportunities, running into famous faces, and hanging out together. It’s only in the last twenty minutes that the film amps up the action, but Tarantino’s screenplay and the star power on display make for plenty of entertainment.


Memoria 

is such an unusual film that it's hard to even talk about the core premise. It's a challenging but rewarding movie, and at its most basic, follows a woman who begins hearing strange sounds that no one else seems to be able to hear, so she sets out on a personal quest to discover the origin of these strange noises.


Drive

Decidedly not at all like a Fast & Furious movie, Drive does focus on a lonely man who's a stuntman by day and a getaway driver for robbers at night, but is arguably less about that and more about being an exercise in style.

The movie lives and breathes the grimier aspects of the neon-drenched 80s. Drive's a beautiful-looking movie and paired with the memorably moody synth-wave soundtrack, it's a great movie to experience. Instead of focusing on the criminal aspects of the driver's (Ryan Gosling) life, it's arguably more concerned about the romance that develops between the driver and Irene (Carey Mulligan) characters... at least between the sporadic bursts of graphic violence that are there to remind viewers they're ultimately watching a crime film.


'Dazed and Confused'

Dazed and Confused is much less of a movie than just a bunch of teens hanging out and getting stoned. Yet, that has cemented it as such a cult classic over the years. A group of senior students, led by Matthew McConaughey, celebrate their last day of high school by partying hard. Set within that day, it offers a slice-of-life portrait capturing the unique feeling of youth and uncertainty of the future. This is definitely a film about the vibes rather than an overarching structure.

It's a challenging but rewarding movie, and at its most basic, follows a woman who begins hearing strange sounds that no one else seems to be able to hear, so she sets out on a personal quest to discover the origin of these strange noises.

It's very slow-paced and ultimately leaves ambiguous how much of the mystery the woman uncovers. Viewers may feel like there's a resolution of sorts, or they may feel that by the film's end, there are more questions than answers. Still, there's something intoxicating and surprisingly not frustrating about Memoria's obscurity, and for the singular experience it provides, it's worth checking out, even for those who usually like a traditional and easy-to-follow narrative.


'Locke'

Set completely within the singular location of a car, Locke is a film where not a lot happens, yet so much does. Tom Hardy plays a construction worker who receives a phone call from a woman with whom he had a one-night stand, telling him she’s in labor. This threatens his reputation as a family man and his career ahead of a major project the next day. While the film is made up of Locke taking and making calls while driving, it's the urgency and stakes of the calls that will have viewers gripped.


'Clerks'

Movies don’t get more stripped-back and uneventful than Kevin Smith’s Clerks. The black-and-white film with a micro-budget follows a day in the life of two convenience store workers on the job. They talk about movies, deal with people who come into the store, lounge around, play hockey on the store roof, and hate their jobs. That’s pretty much it. Despite its lackluster plot, Clerks features authentic characters and witty dialogue that is effective due to the mundanity and relatability of it all. 


'Nebraska'

Another film shot in black-and-white, Nebraska follows an elderly alcoholic man who embarks on a road trip with his estranged son to claim a lottery prize. Although his son and the film’s audience know this ticket is a scam, he travels with his stubborn father anyway. Despite the story ending with the pair driving back home empty-handed, it’s the content of their journey that has momentum. There’s a significant focus on this father-son relationship and the son’s struggle to connect to his father.
