*Dawson City: Frozen Time (Bill Morrison, 2017): 5/5
Surprisingly linear found-footage doc, occasionally punctuated by bursts of nitrate decomp and musical avant-gardisms.  Hypnotically demonstrates the Klondike-early Hollywood connection: gold rushes based on exploiting natural resources and labor.

Nobody Speak: Trials of a Free Press (Brian Knappenberger, 2017): 4/5
American oligarchy launches a buy-out of the First Amendment.  Scary.

Long Strange Trip (Amir Bar-Lev, 2017): 3.5/5
Tragic story of an enormously gifted guitar player driven to self-isolation and destruction by success, duty, spinners

Red Dust (Victor Fleming, 1932): 3.5/5
Another "notorious" pre-Code flick that can't possibly live up to the hype. But Gable and Astor mesmerize as they get steamy in the tropics; Harlow is a clunky third wheel

There Will Be Blood when Wonder Boys and Matchstick Men Nightcrawl in The Place Beyond the Pines, rw (Sad White Men, 2000-2015): 4/5
