  • Freakonomics (2010)
    Review preview for Freakonomics

    The limited time given to each of the short films means that there is little opportunity to get really down and dirty with the number-crunching, so that for every aspect that is fascinating there is an attendant frustration.

    Portmanteau documentary based on the best-selling book that promises to explore the "hidden side of everything".
  • The House I Live In (2012)
    Review preview for The House I Live In

    Jarecki, as always, does a good job of presenting a huge amount of information in bite-size chunks.

    Does the War on Drugs do more harm than good?
  • Julian Assange And The War On Journalism (2025)
    Review preview for Julian Assange And The War On Journalism

    This is a consistently interesting film and a good exercise in navigating historical narratives, even if it’s not exactly what its UK title might have viewers expecting.
