Chloe Zhao’s ‘Nomadland’ more than earns its praise
More than making an extraordinary movie, Zhao has made a classic genre her own by crafting what is perhaps the most ordinary and quietly powerful road movie of all time. Enchanting, heart-breaking, quiet — but nonetheless urgent — “Nomadland” is a must-see.

Surviving 'Outbreak'
The movie was fun to watch but not groundbreaking by any means. However, when I told my mom I would be reviewing “Outbreak” for the Justice, she said she saw it in theaters and freaked out during the scene when a man coughed and spread the virus over an entire movie theater, so I cannot call “Outbreak” forgettable. Take that as you will. Wash your hands and be safe.
