River of Grass
(2025)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
...it has something of a timeless (or, more accurately, out-of-time) poetic visual quality that I find exciting to watch—although, admittedly, might be too dry for some.

Pistachio Wars
(2024)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
The first-time filmmakers are wise to anchor this story in the simple, effective storytelling. Good ol’ American greed is front and centre here, and its influence leaches into so many different areas like toxins into the ground.

Heaven
(1987)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
Maybe Heaven is just one big way of saying to stop thinking about all of this so much and just live your life while we have it.

There Was, There Was Not
(2024)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
The sadness of the film and the deep sense of loss that is felt by Mkrtichian’s subjects is smartly told through her observational storytelling and Alexandria Bombach’s editing, criss-crossing between the four women and the land itself...

Looking for Robert
(2024)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
Copans’ intimate knowledge of Kramer allows for Looking for Robert to be a more honest take on the filmmaker. One that celebrates, but never presents him as something that he wasn’t. Or, perhaps even more importantly, that his films never were.

Apocalypse in the Tropics
(2024)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
There’s no doubt a hell of a lot more to the story and maybe there’s another film’s story to tell in a trilogy-capping feature. But this is an incisive look at one country’s perilous descent into dangerous extremism...

Ai Weiwei's Turandot
(2025)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
It acts as a nice artefact for those of us who would never have the opportunity to see such a production. I would have liked to have seen more of its final form, especially since the movie’s opening sequence... was a breathtaking way to begin.

Naked Ambition
(2023)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
...it’s hard not to suspect that there are several chapters of her life that aren’t explored quite as much as they could be, [but] it’s lively and has a nice spark while speaking to ideas that feel relevant for today.

Lost in the Jungle
(2025)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
It hangs a lot on its frame, but I appreciated that there was a bit more effort made to really grapple with the lives of this family and those around them, something I found missing in some of their earlier comparable works.

The Propagandist
(2025)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
In some of its more interesting passages, Bouwman’s film focuses on the filmmaking itself and the way Teunissen was changed and how deluded he must have become.

1000 Women in Horror
(2025)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
But this isn’t a boys vs girls situation. It’s about carving out a space to talk about these issues in a way that offers freedom of expression and individuality. There could easily be another one given how much there is to discuss.

Trains
(2024)
|
Glenn Dunks

What things these trains have seen! Trains is a ravishing document of something that nobody likely knew they needed. I simply adored it.

Israel Palestine on Swedish TV 1958-1989
(2024)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
[A quote] suggests that archives cannot tell us what happened, but more how it was presented to society. That’s an appropriate reminder for all such films, but especially so here. There is obviously much more to the story than can fit into 200 minutes.

The Librarians
(2025)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
In a way, it’s like arguing with a baby. Sure, your points might be totally accurate and compelling and maybe you made those points with veracious integrity. But ultimately, you’re still arguing with a baby.

Deaf President Now!
(2025)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
It proves a smartly assembled technical piece, too. Michael Harte’s editing, switching between archival footage and cleanly shot talking heads is efficient and tight. The sound design of Samir Foco is a surprising, nonsensical snub by the Emmy voters.

Music by John Williams
(2024)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
There are a lot of cute anecdotes, not many of which we get to really dig into. Which is probably only natural. The film is 105 minutes long and he has more credits than minutes on runtime.

Sudan, Remember Us
(2024)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
This film is 78 minutes long, which, considering the subject matter, hardly seems long enough to really show westerners ... the full scale of what is occurring in the African nation. And it's not, but you can do some reading.

Monk in Pieces
(2025)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
It’s probably because she’s been so frequently filmed, so willing to not just appear on camera but to detail her art and the process behind it, that Monk in Pieces works as well as it does.

Life After

...does Davenport's film, in attempting to raise concerns about how the medical field is pushing death on disabled people actually just end up infantilising those same people in some way?

Commune
(2005)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
You can likely never quite escape human emotions and public perceptions. Like when commune buddies become lovers who become partners. Like when the police raid your land and seize marijuana only for it to actually be a tomato plant.

My Mom Jayne
(2025)
|

Those familiar with Hargitay just through her performance across a record-extending 26 seasons... will likely come away from this self-directed documentary with a newfound understanding of both mother and daughter.

Enigma
(2025)
|
Glenn Dunks

When all is said and done, Enigma does come across as a bit of muckraking. Which is (maybe) actually fine with me, but it is questionable in how it goes about it.

Surviving Ohio State
(2025)
|
Glenn Dunks
|
Personally, as a viewer who, like Orner, is also not American, I find on-screen portrayals of American college life are about as foreign of a concept as you can get. Accurate or not, it just comes across like an entirely different planet.

The Body Politic

But the filmmaker is so lucky to have a subject in Brandon Scott. He comes across as so naturally charismatic, particularly in more casual moments.

I'm Your Venus
(2024)

I’m Your Venus sings with not just storytelling nous, but authenticity and potent emotional clarity. Reed, who is transgender but also indeed white, allows for transparency and honestly where before there may not have been.

As a matter of fact, I learned a lot about Coulson with this documentary that her Wikipedia page only skims across. So that’s a win right there, I suppose.

You probably shouldn’t be leaving out vital information while repeating and contradicting others that you said earlier. There are just so many more crevices in which to explore, and I wished we hadn’t have spent so long on [Kevin Smith] clips.

Nevertheless, what Jain has achieved is impressive. She features some smaller stories within the larger context, although never too much that it distracts from the larger message.

The Perfect Neighbor

Of course, viewers should always have healthy skepticism and there are some important, if subtle, edits here that remind us there can always be more to the story (one even elicits a genuine laugh).
