Deepfaking Sam Altman (2025) 92% EDIT “Deepfaking Sam Altman is interesting for what it says about humans more than machines, confirming again that our impending extinction will be our own fault.” – Nonfics (Substack) Jan 17, 2026 Full Review Seeds (2025) 97% EDIT “One montage sequence in the middle of the movie, presenting the cotton harvest, is possibly worth the price of admission alone, but the documentary as a whole is too long.” – Nonfics (Substack) Jan 17, 2026 Full Review Shuffle (2025) 100% EDIT “It’s infuriating and could be very helpful to a lot of people, parents particularly, but they won’t be seeking it out at their local cinema.” – Nonfics (Substack) Jan 17, 2026 Full Review LaLee's Kin: The Legacy of Cotton (2001) EDIT “Retrospectively, LaLee’s Kin now just looks like "poverty porn," with its images of one family’s life in squalor and little boys bathing in buckets. However, viewed contextually for the present and going forward, it’s increasingly more damning.” – Nonfics (Substack) Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Been Here Stay Here (2024) EDIT “Been Here Stay Here is a beautiful and serene documentary that may lull us toward a shared acceptance of our fates. The score by James William Blades is epically soothing. Every shot composed by Usui and Peter Steusloff is stunning and full of grace.” – Nonfics (Substack) Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Holding Liat (2025) 100% EDIT “As far from propaganda as it can be for an issue and situation that has been heavily propagandized from multiple sides.” – Nonfics (Substack) Jan 9, 2026 Full Review All the Walls Came Down (2025) EDIT “Especially coming so soon after Last Flight Home, her film about her father’s death, she’s been through a lot, yet is strong for continuing to show us all of it.” – Nonfics (Substack) Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Critical Incident: Death at the Border (2025) EDIT “While essential coverage of this story, Critical Incident, unfortunately, feels like old news.” – Nonfics (Substack) Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Cover-Up (2025) 98% EDIT “Cover-Up isn’t the best film about journalists this year, yet it ranks fairly well on our list of the best documentaries of 2025, partly because it does have a subject with great screen presence.” – Nonfics (Substack) Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Breakdown: 1975 (2025) 77% EDIT “Its timeline is a bit scattered, its memory a bit generalizing, its points wandering, but I do like it when Neville cross-cuts different movies together to seem to be in conversation with one another.” – Nonfics (Substack) Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Megadoc (2025) 98% EDIT “Whether you’ve seen Megalopolis or not, this depressingly disaster-focused documentary on its making is worth watching as a companion piece to (the much better) Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse.” – Nonfics (Substack) Dec 12, 2025 Full Review WTO/99 (2025) 83% EDIT “The more I think about it, I’m less affected by its point, or what point I infer from the film, than I am by examples of its impeccable editorial craftsmanship.” – Nonfics (Substack) Dec 5, 2025 Full Review The New Yorker at 100 (2025) 64% EDIT “The New Yorker at 100 reminds us of the titular publication’s cultural importance rather than just its history...Even if you’re not a New Yorker reader, you should check it out.” – Nonfics (Substack) Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Night in West Texas (2025) EDIT “It’s not a thrilling tale, but the film respectfully addresses historical and cultural circumstances while following the latest in the story involving the pursuit of exoneration.” – Nonfics (Substack) Dec 5, 2025 Full Review The Tale of Silyan (2025) 100% EDIT “Among the most beautiful documentaries of 2025...there’s something very universal about the protagonist’s struggle, as well as something very timely.” – Nonfics (Substack) Nov 28, 2025 Full Review All the Empty Rooms (2025) EDIT “It’s a film where the subjects’ work is more worthy of honoring than the film they’re in, but it’s still the most polished documentary short I’ve seen this year.” – Nonfics (Substack) Nov 28, 2025 Full Review Teenage Wasteland (2025) 100% EDIT “Its storytelling is near-perfect, thrillingly guiding viewers through the narrative as if it were unfolding right in front of them.” – Nonfics (Substack) Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Cutting Through Rocks (2025) 100% EDIT “It probably could have worked at half the runtime, but Shahverdi and her feminist efforts, including her support for young girls staying in school and not marrying as preteens, are never not captivating.” – Nonfics (Substack) Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) 100% EDIT “The pace and cinematography beautifully match the poetic nature of its participants, and the documentary will have you in tears for happy and heartbreaking moments throughout.” – Nonfics (Substack) Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Stop the Insanity: Finding Susan Powter (2025) 64% EDIT “The filmmakers lost me when they showed their intervening helpful hands and steered the documentary rather than letting things play out naturally.” – Nonfics (Substack) Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Thoughts & Prayers (2025) 90% EDIT “The film doesn’t do enough to dig into the problem of the active shooter industrial complex and expose which aspects of these proposed solutions are ineffective.” – Nonfics (Substack) Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Caterpillar (2023) 100% EDIT “Mandelup got lucky with the circular way this true story goes, even if it ends sort of predictably. As is her approach, Caterpillar often plays like a fiction film, but not in a way that ever feels manipulated. ” – Nonfics (Substack) Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Brothers on Three (2025) EDIT “The only problem with Brothers on Three is that it wants to cover more ground than it needs to, even if most of its content returns to addressing the significance of the team.” – Nonfics (Substack) Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus (2024) 100% EDIT “As is stressed throughout, Diane “Q” Luckey always deserved better, this film included.” – Nonfics (Substack) Oct 31, 2025 Full Review The White House Effect (2024) 94% EDIT “I’m a sucker for these kinds of films, but its chronicling of the George H.W. Bush administration’s handling of the problem plays like a light gathering of historical material as merely a look back at why we are where we are today on the issue.” – Nonfics (Substack) Oct 31, 2025 Full Review
