Despite the heavy subject matter and longer average run-times, the films in this showcase are the strongest group of the three Oscar short film categories.

Los Angeles Times

This year's Oscar-nominated shorts carry plenty of emotional weight in their compact running times with stories that span life's breadth.

Hyperallergic

Lifeboat is almost indistinguishable from 4.1 Miles, a nominee on the same topic from several years back, while Period comes across more like a commercial for the Pad Project than a real attempt at a stand-alone film.

Elias Savada

Film International

The rather long (143 minutes) Documentary Shorts program offers a solid lineup. Two (Period. End of Sentence and End Game) are available as originals on Netflix.

Rated: 4/5

Flick Filosopher

My pick: Marshall Curry's 'A Night at the Garden,' presenting footage from a 1939 'pro-America' rally in New York City, a chilling reminder of the unpleasant cycles of American history.

Rated: 5/5
