Julie Larson

The book was rather uplifting overall; it was a reporter investigating the people who live this lifestyle, both chosen and compelled to do so. The movie lacked the dimension of describing the tedium and hard physicality of part time work and the mindsets of those who travel from place to place with the migrant lifestyle. You MISS that Amazon is a hard hard crippling and frustrating job, that most people cant cope with the demands of the sugar beet harvest, and the often times carney/amusement park jobs workers take so they can stay on the road. Not unusual for the movies, they ignore the reality they should portray - would it be expecting too much for the audience to learn something??? — to show one fictionalized life. Slow to start, better toward the end. Frances Dormand is her usual character profile. Glad I saw it on Hulu on trial.
