Documentary Oscar Race Reflects Balanced Field of Home-Grown and International Stories

This year’s crop of five documentary feature Oscar nominees is refreshingly balanced. There is a healthy mix of international stories, American directors, docs with big-streamer support and docs with smaller theatrical distribution.

This year’s feature nominees are: David Borenstein and Pavel Talankin’s “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” (Kino Lorber), Geeta Gandbhir’s “The Perfect Neighbor” (Netflix), Andrew Jarecki and Charlotte Kaufman’s “The Alabama Solution” (HBO), Sara Khaki and Mohammadreza Eyni’s “Cutting Through Rocks” (self-distributed), and Ryan White’s “Come See Me in the Good Light” (Apple).
