The Best and Worst of 2022 in Documentaries
In this third and final installment of my best and worst films of 2022, I present my list of choices in the year’s documentary films.
‘Wildcat’ opens the door to a new future
They say that, when one door closes, another one opens. That may be hard to envision, and even more difficult to see, at the time that predecessor portal slams shut. It can easily leave us disillusioned, bitter and hopeless. However, during these transitionary periods, it may take some time for that new entry way to open up.
‘To Leslie’ applauds recovery and redemption
Getting back on one’s feet after a hard fall can be unbearably difficult.

‘Living’ breaks the chains of limitation
Willingly taking ourselves out of our comfort zones is something that may make many of us squirm in discomfort. As creatures of habit, we like our lives filled with familiarity and predictability. So, when we find ourselves faced with having to make adjustments in light of our conditions, we might rail against those circumstances, especially if we feel the pressure of time constraints squeezing us into unexpected (and not necessarily welcome) alterations.
