Rating: 2.5/4 --
A supplementary subject of most of Herzog's work, which it shares with Chatwin's, is a bottomless yearning for wonder.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
"Nomad" has several indelible moments: seeing the backpack and annotated script, Herzog's account of visiting Chatwin just before his death. But overall the film is static and more wayward than not.

Boston Globe
[I]n its restless, curious way, it tells us things about its subject that a more conventional film would have a hard time putting into words.
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 4.5/5 --
A revealing documentary about two creative and wonderstruck friends.

Spirituality & Practice
[S]ites that Herzog visits, all meaningful to Chatwin, seem poised, eerily and enticingly, between the known and unknown worlds.
New York Times
Duplicating many of Chatwin's most notable journeys, Herzog evokes the late English wanderer's restless soul and curious fascination with profound issues that have long captivated the director.

Variety
Rating: 3.5/5 --
This isn't the carefully curated version of Herzog, the affable old German quietly voicing wonder about the universe, or detached resignation for the fate of humanity. This is Herzog, looking back at a kindred spirit that he lost along the way.

Austin Chronicle
Product Description:
Writer-director Werner Herzog's poignant documentary is a tribute to his longtime friend, the late British travel writer Bruce Chatwin. Three decades after Chatwin's death from HIV, Herzog retraces his travels to Patagonia, the Black Mountains in Wales, and the Australian outback to illuminate his life, his legacy, and his transformative encounters with indigenous communities. He also interviews Chatwin's widow, Elizabeth Chatwin, and his biographer Nicholas Shakespeare.
