Nuisance Bear  (2026) 100% EDIT “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.” – Nonfics (Substack) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Soul Patrol (2026) 100% EDIT “Another war film masterpiece...I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite like this documentary.” – Nonfics (Substack) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review 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.” – Nonfics (Substack) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Ghost in the Machine (2026) 90% 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.” – Nonfics (Substack) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Cookie Queens (2026) 100% EDIT “It’s a good reminder of the importance of quality over quantity.” – Nonfics (Substack) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Seized (2026) 100% EDIT “With so many documentaries focused on the importance of journalism and journalists lately, it’s fair and necessary that we get one about a rare small-town newspaper still in operation.” – Nonfics (Substack) Feb 3, 2026 Full Review One in a Million (2026) 100% EDIT “The title One in a Million may as well refer to its existence as a documentary that came together so well because of both directorial and editorial acumen...I wish it weren’t such a rarity, but it’d probably stand out regardless.” – Nonfics (Substack) Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Natchez (2025) 100% EDIT “What starts seemingly as a curious look at one Mississippi town’s legacy regarding slavery winds up as a deeper exploration of how history should be represented, especially when it comes to humanity’s mistakes.” – Nonfics (Substack) Jan 31, 2026 Full Review 2DIE4 (2026) EDIT “If it grabbed me enough through its hour-long runtime, those who do care for racing are going to love it.” – Nonfics (Substack) Jan 31, 2026 Full Review 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
