At the Liberty

DAYTON-Showing at the Liberty Theater on March 26, 27, 28, and 30 is the 2020 drama Nomadland. Showtimes are Friday & Saturday at 7:30 pm, Sunday matinee at 3 pm, and Tuesday evening at 6:30 pm (Not 7:30).

Following the economic collapse of a company town in rural Nevada, Fern (Frances McDormand) packs her van and sets off on the road exploring a life outside of conventional society as a modern-day nomad. Nomadland features real nomads Linda May, Swankie, and Bob Wells as Fern's mentors and comrades in her exploration through the American West's vast landscape. Some reviewers describe this as a melancholy depiction of American society that is "fraying at the edges."

Nomadland takes you somewhere you've never been, introduces you to marvelous people you knew little or nothing about, and leaves you full of feelings you may not have known you had, but glad to have taken the journey and changed by it" (The Wall Street Journal). This is the third movie directed by Chloe Zhao.

This movie is rated R for some full nudity, with a runtime of 108 minutes. Rotten Tomatoes rates this as 94% favorable, and the audience score is 80%.

Also, the March Madness Virtual Variety Show is scheduled for release on March 26. Please check the Liberty Theater website for more details.
