Jennifer Lopez reveals acclaimed movie that left her unimpressed 

Jennifer Lopez just delivered a movie opinion that might have film buffs clutching their popcorn.

During an appearance on Brett Goldstein’s Films to be Buried With podcast, the actress and singer was asked a deceptively simple question: What’s the worst movie you have ever seen?

After a brief pause, Lopez went with a choice few expected.

“You can tell from my taste in movies, I think, about this, but Nomadland,” she said. “I know that's unpopular. I know… But it's not why I go to the movies.”

That answer is bound to raise eyebrows considering Nomadland dominated the Oscars, winning Best Picture while earning Chloe Zhao a Best Director trophy and Frances McDormand a Best Actress win.

But Lopez made it clear this wasn't about quality—it was about taste.

“It's a slow-moving thing about grief, and there's no escapism to it,” she confessed. “And I do like some movies like that. Some movies like that would be a bit… But that one, I just didn’t.”

The star was quick to praise McDormand’s performance.

“She's amazing. We all know this. There's no surprise there. She deserves all the Oscars,” she said. “But I just, I didn't enjoy it in that sense.”

Lopez admitted she gravitates toward films that offer an escape from reality, whether that’s romance, action or a feel-good musical.

“It's just not for me. It's just a taste thing. And I know we need movies about grief! I understand! I just don't want to watch ‘em! The same way I don't want to watch horror films!”

In the end, even Lopez softened her verdict, agreeing that Nomadland is not necessarily the worst movie ever made – just her personal “worst typo of film.”

And honestly? That’s some debate movie lovers will be having for a while.
