Overview
- Lopez made the comment on Brett Goldstein’s Films to Be Buried With podcast this week when asked to name the worst film she had seen and prefaced her answer by calling Nomadland a “beautiful film.”
- She described Nomadland as her “worst type of film” while stressing the view was personal and not a judgment of quality.
- Lopez praised Frances McDormand’s performance, saying McDormand is “amazing” and “deserves all the Oscars,” which acknowledges the film’s acclaim.
- She explained the dislike was about taste, saying she prefers musicals, romantic comedies and escapist movies and found Nomadland to be a slow-moving film focused on grief.
- The exchange occurred during Lopez’s promotional run for Office Romance, and it underscores the gap between awards recognition—Nomadland won Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress—and individual audience preferences.
