I Google this: nomadland review

The review is in fact the polar opposite of this. They rate it as 4 stars.

I enjoyed this movie, but even if you think it's awful, why in the world does that one line - which is a comment from a site visitor - show up on Google like that?

Probably because more people visited and linked to the comments than did the original review.

This is why I rely on FaceBook for all my movie reviews.

I go to IMDB then click on the Metascore link and that takes you to a nice concise page of many reviews with a paragraph blurb and easy links.

that google bit in the OP is crazy - I suspect that Sarcany is right and that the poster did some google-fu to raise the profile of the post.
