   Is Swankie a real person?

   • Swankie plays a version of herself, a nomad who befriends Fern and spends some time with her. There are some crucial differences between the movie Swankie and the real one, but it's clear Zhao captured her essence. It's also clear that the charmingly unaffected Swankie is enjoying herself, after a fashion, she hasn't let the experience change her.

   Is 'Swankie' a good movie?

   • If you haven't seen the film, which was nominated for six Academy Awards, Zhao cast a lot of non-actors like Swankie — something Zhao has done in her previous films. Swankie provides a genuineness to the film; the mark of a good actor is you can't tell they're acting, and she passes that test with ease.
