    Rodents of Unusual Size
    The documentary, directed by Chris Metzler, Jeff Springer and Quinn Costello, and narrated by Wendell Pierce, uses cartoon diagrams and a cheerful score by the Lost Bayou Ramblers to make its tale of inherited destruction and trauma as charming as possible. The way that initial ease peels back is the film’s greatest asset.

    BuyBust
    Though the film becomes a slog, it has a saving grace in Curtis and Vera’s performances, which serve as neat complements to each other in temperament as well as fighting styles.

    Path of Blood
    Documentary is an inherently tricky field, requiring objectivity, but Path of Blood leans so far into it that any sense of narrative or purpose dissolves.

    Dark River
    It’s in Alice’s battle with her brother Joe (Mark Stanley) that the film is at its most compelling.

    The Last Horsemen of New York
    Mary Haverstick and Michele Mercure’s documentary is the kind of movie that tests the limits of subjectivity when it comes to documentary filmmaking, as it comes down so squarely on the side of the carriage drivers that it begins to feel like a conspiracy thriller.

    Bye Bye Germany
    The story digs deep enough that the cheese Garbarski lays on at the end feels well-earned. It’s a charmingly made film.

    Original Cast Album: Company
    What makes the documentary so compelling is that it captures the process of re-creating a performance that’s meant to be experienced live.
