“The movie is a documentary-narrative hybrid in which Gladstone improvises scenes with regular people that the director met on her own road trips over the years. (That’s co-producer Lainey Bearkiller Shangreaux’s real wedding that we’re watching.) It’s a similar structure to ‘Nomadland,’ except without all the fatuous, condescending baloney about the nobility of poverty.” – Sean Burns, WBUR
