The Act of Reading (2021)
Confusing in the best way

This documentary makes VERY strong choices, and I loved them. Anyone who enjoys genuinely new movie experiences or Moby Dick will enjoy this film. It's a highly cerebral journey, and I found it very thought-provoking. Expect something that is not only about Moby Dick but directly inspired by it. The subject matter (generally speaking Moby Dick, Herman Melville, reading/teaching literature, and the personal life of the documentary filmmaker Mark Blumberg) is kept light - instead of deep dives the film dances with the subjects and weaves them together like a trippy love song. Highly recommended!
