      Ben Travers indieWire Documentary Now! either grabs hold of you or drifts by in the distance, and for those of us who enjoy its esoteric Easter egg hunts or simply feel seen by the series’ very particular reveries, it’s best to savor each moment as they appear. Rated: A Oct 21, 2022 Full Review David Fear Rolling Stone Should you live and breathe documentaries, or just cinema in general, you’ll appreciate what they’re doing that much more. This is pure, 100 percent uncut catnip for film nerds. Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com As with any season of Documentary Now!, some episodes are funnier than others, but all six are worth your time. Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Marya E. Gates The Playlist A loving, yet playful tribute to the documentaries of yore, [that] also reminded me why I love documentary cinema so much. Rated: B+ Oct 21, 2022 Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider The realism within these cockeyed concoctions reminds you time and again that this series isn’t monkeying around. Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Aaron Barnhart Primetimer With documentaries more popular than ever, there’s no reason this series can’t go on and on, to at least season 53 and beyond.

      Derik J F'ing hilarious, especially if you've seen the actual documentary that they are spoofing! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Joanna K So funny! It's a lovely tribute to documentaries and very enjoyable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/22 Full Review Carlo H This show is a masterclass on how passion elevates people and they radiate joy! You see the radiance emanating from the entire production and the cast blinds the eyes with characters they seem to channel through membranes from other universes. Cate Blanchett clearly has her most fun while doing these episodes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
