Snowtown (2011)
A tough watch
I agree with a lot of the other reviews, both good and bad ones. The violence is not one bit dramatized or sensationalized. It's just blunt, raw, and unsettlingly immersive. Definitely became physically sick after watching the bathroom scene, not just feeling uneasy either, I actually thought I was going to puke and hugged the toilet briefly. I'm sure if I watched the scene by itself I wouldn't have a problem but by that point in the film you really are just in the room watching what's going on. Other reviews here are right about it not telling a story or clueing in to what the hell is going on.
Do You Trust This Computer? (2018)
Looks at the pros/cons of tomorrow
A look into the future costs and benefits that current technological advancements may present. Though I will say there is a few authors/writers that seemed to be "fear-mongering" by exaggerating things; there is also a great deal of brilliant tech minds speaking straightforward.
Saving Capitalism (2017)
Decent illustration of symptoms, even though problem is misunderstood/spun
The premise is that capitalism needs saving.
Tends to highlight the problems fairly well. Yet it continually fails to understand where the problem lies. It is not capitalism that needs the saving, it is our political system.
For example: Argues a major problem is corporations buying political influence; fails to understand that politicians must sell political influence for it to be bought.
If valid and rational narrative is a must, look elsewhere; if you can look beyond the intended narrative, it isn't a horrible documentary.
