For a further (and very interesting) discussion of the movie: [Christopher Nolan's Tenet](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/christopher-nolans-tenet/919573) My latest five: _The 8th_ Interesting, uplifting documentary about the 2018 grassroots effort, largely led by women, to repeal Ireland’s stringent anti-abortion law. _Still Home_ Short documentary about the corrosive effects of poverty and opioid abuse in the small, struggling river town of East Liverpool, Ohio. Pretty bleak but with a faint ray of hope by the end. _Apart_ Very good documentary about women in an Ohio prison struggling to survive inside, and then succeed upon release, with a particular focus on the difficulties their families have in trying to support and encourage them. _For Madmen Only_ So-so documentary about the acerbic, messed-up Second City improv guru Del Close and his largely-unappreciated role in American comedy over several decades (his pupils have included John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, Tina Fey, John Candy, Stephen Colbert, Amy Sedaris, Bob Odenkirk, Amy Poehler, George Wendt and many others). _Voodoo Macbeth_ Not a documentary, but a disappointing behind-the-scenes fictionalization of the 1936 Federal Theatre Project production of Shakespeare’s play in New York City, with a mostly amateur, all-black cast directed by the young Orson Welles. The movie never quite took off, and the actor playing Welles looked nothing like him. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-youve-seen-recently-part-1/699906)._
