Walruses or elephants? A doc that’s mostly archival clips or a movie shot over 16 years? These are decisions facing Oscar voters in this year’s documentary shorts category.

Arts Fuse

The five entries in this 165-minute session (each running around 30-40 minutes) are worthy contenders.

This year the slate isn't the usual depressing, downbeat fare.

Reeling Reviews

The 2023 nominees for documentary short subject cover a wide range of subjects, as usual. They are a diverse lot with many interests, including the two centered on animals that come from very different places and polar opposite perspectives.

Rated: B+

Extremely disappointing. We used to love viewing these short films up for Oscar’s nominations, however, the quality this year is just horrendous. Factually it’s very skewed to drive a particular narrative. Most of these topics and films could have been interesting and good value if it was presented with a full spectrum of facts and perspectives.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Boring. 4 out of 5. And subtitles did not work on one of them. Very disappointing.
