In the recessionary road odyssey, the director’s go-to cinematographer offered a roving, naturalistic nod to Terrence Malick (with the Arri Alexa Mini), while capturing Frances McDormand’s journey through the landscapes of the American West in changing light.

Getting a boost during the pandemic is any film that debuted to real, live audiences at a film festival in 2020, like Sundance. That’s where writer-director Lee Isaac Chung won the jury and audience awards for “Minari” (A24) , a semi-autobiographical drama starring Steven Yeun as a Korean immigrant farmer trying to support his young family.
