The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026)
89%
EDIT
“An example of how all issue documentaries should play out, but it’s also the issue documentary that drops the mic on all the world’s problems.” –

Lumière! The Adventure Continues (2024)
EDIT
“I really love Frémaux’s concluding remarks on cinema’s importance and how it’s about us seeing and understanding ourselves and others.” –

Keep Quiet and Forgive (2025)
EDIT
“It shouldn’t be surprising that a community based on old-fashioned living would have issues regarding the treatment of women, physically and socially. Hopefully, this film will get viewers to realize that the obvious is not okay to be dismissed as such.” –

White with Fear (2024)
89%
EDIT
“Plays like a fire alarm pulled after the building has already burned down. It’s not up to date. Its thesis and arguments are easy and obvious. And the film fails to get that today, the real issue is the Americans being led, not the pipers leading them.” –

With Byrd at the South Pole (1930)
EDIT
“Unlike other documentary features of the period, not too much is lost in the need to engage and enthrall. The footage offers a record of events while the film editorially plays with its story.” –

EDIT

Bella! (2023)
100%
EDIT
“A basic but necessary biographical documentary about Congresswoman and feminist movement icon Bella Abzug (I’m surprised she hadn’t already received one).” –

Iron Family (2022)
EDIT
“As with many documentaries on people with disabilities, Iron Family portrays its subject as someone who shouldn’t be treated differently, but obviously is simply by being the subject of a documentary because of their disability.” –

Videoheaven (2025)
85%
EDIT
“I found it nostalgically and academically riveting, even if a bit too long and often overstated.” –

Pompei: Below the Clouds (2025)
97%
EDIT
“Pompei: Below the Clouds is far from being one of Gianfranco Rosi’s best films. Of course, I still recommend it. There’s a lot to love in the film.” –

Ghost Elephants (2025)
100%
EDIT
“It’s not a documentary where an answer is important within the narrative, nor is a point necessary to be gleaned, but it gives audiences a lot to feel and think about along the way.” –

A Body to Live In (2025)
EDIT
“While I don’t expect a lot of viewers to give it a look, I did find the film’s section on the AIDS crisis and the address of the modern primitivism movement’s cultural appropriation issue interesting beyond the stuff that I didn’t relate to or agree with.” –

Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025)
100%
EDIT
“If you appreciated Neville’s all-archival first half of Steve! (martin), a documentary in 2 pieces more than the second part, you should understand and enjoy what makes Man on the Run work so well.” –

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert (2025)
97%
EDIT
“EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert is the real main attraction that Elvis (the biopic) now seems to complement.” –

Every Body (2023)
98%
EDIT
“The film’s participants can’t represent the full spectrum, but between their stories and the broader info provided by the documentary, viewers ought to come away with a greater comprehension of the reality and issues counter to what’s too often argued.” –

The Rose: Come Back to Me (2025)
100%
EDIT
“While it’s likely to only draw fans of The Rose to theaters, if you find yourself watching it there or someway else in the future, you won’t be sorry.” –

Starman (2025)
EDIT
“Starman loses some of its focus in the end by touching on more topics, but it’s otherwise a fantastic profile of Lee and should delight anyone interested in the cosmos and our place in it.” –

Matter of Time (2025)
EDIT
“For what it is, Matter of Time does a good job selling its need with clear explanations and heart-wrenching patient spotlights.” –

Heaven (1987)

EDIT
“Hilarious. A quirky collage of ideas of what the afterlife will be like. And a sly revelation of how media informs such ideas.” –

“You’ll want to watch it twice, at least once on a big screen, to really appreciate how much is going on with this film, and many more before it.” –

Give Me the Ball! (2026)
EDIT
“Garbus and Wolff do something with Give Me the Ball! that breaks from the celebrity biography norm: they hold the applause to the end.” –

Ghost in the Machine (2026)
73%
EDIT
“Structurally, Ghost in the Machine is an effective, chaptered essay, even if its points may be narrow in their concerns. Aesthetically, there is more to be desired.” –
