Documentaries

Been following Jose Andres and WCK for awhile now....very happy to see his work is becoming mainstream in a sense. Lovely documentary.

Gee, what’s with the hostility?

Old men in Italy who search for precious truffles in the woods with their dogs. Moderately interesting.

Apparently, a lot of the scenes for Salt for Svanetia were originally part of a fictional production and edited into this "documentary." I had a feeling a lot of it was staged/stylized. I get the feeling it should've stayed a fictional movie, because some scenes were powerful. But I really don't know my final thoughts about the movie yet. I mean, one the one hand, it;s incredibly well filmed. On the other hand, the authenticity is quite questionable. The emotional side of me wants to give it an 8 or 9, but the logical side of me says that as a documentary, it caves in on its own purpose for existence due to its background as an unrealized fiction.

This documentary is so lovely I watched it twice.

More episodes from the Columbus, Ohio zoo. Good stuff.

Delightful. Very nice narration from Tracee Ellis Ross too.

I found it a little pretentious and very overprotective of its subject.

Re-watch of a white woman trying to pass for black. Very interesting on Netflix.

I think I'll watch this. Sounds good. Thank you.

They released another documentary a few years later that is better than that one, but in the same vein - The Yes Men Fix the World (2009) - I haven't watched it yet but I intend to.

Well it probably should be. If you weren't a flower child in the '60s you would likely feel as many of us did that Fonda was treasonous, and wanting to do harm to the American military. To many she was a stain on that era.

Not a fan per se, but this wasn’t half bad.


Another true life crime story from Netflix. Interesting.

Not sure if this is a documentary or a movie. It’s both, I guess. Re-watch though I don’t know why I wanted to re-watch it.

All based on the premise that actor/director Sarah Polley’s father is not her biological father. Which I don’t particularly find that interesting.

Kind of daft, but good fun. I enjoyed it.



Filmed in 2008. SS officers who are old now & who still deny they were any part of the Final Solution are interviewed, among other Germans & Austrians. Scary people.

Very interesting documentary. Very accomplished woman.

Do we have threads that are divided by the streaming platform? Might not be a bad idea. Sometimes I'll see something on Prime, and you are given the chance to choose between the two channels for a trial, and knowing that information could help make decisions easier.
