As 2020 neared its end — a year of Hollywood asterisks and movie-release delays and anticlimactic couch premieres and exhausted industry shrugs — a handful of movies quietly made themselves available … sort of. Chloé Zhao’s devastating Nomadland debuted in extremely limited digital release in early December. Lee Isaac Chung’s semi-autobiographical Minari was temporarily unleashed into select American theaters a week later.
