You can see everything on this list: the 20 most jaw-dropping documentaries – ranked!

Ahead of the UK release of Nathan Fielder’s hotly anticipated Elizabeth Holmes film, we count down the most shocking and affecting true stories ever committed to cinema

A 50-second dispatch from daily life blew the whistle on the approaching juggernaut of cinema and its unbeatable horsepower of verisimilitude. But if we must be strictly factual about the iconic Lumière brothers’ short, the anecdote about audience members fleeing their seats in fear of being crushed by the oncoming locomotive probably never happened.

The dramatic re-enactment is the car chase of the documentary industry: a crude way of keeping our attention. But by using rotoscoped animation, Keith Maitland’s riveting account of the 1966 mass shooting at the University of Texas completely revitalises the re-enactment as part of the documentary toolkit. It leaves us prone under the killer’s crosshairs with the emotional immediacy of a thriller and an oddly elegiac comedown.

10 Movies To Watch if You Loved ‘You Can See Everything’

It’s cool to see how much You Can See Everything has been resonating and achieving popularity-wise, since it doesn’t really scream “hit movie.” It’s a nearly three-hour-long documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, at least at first. It does more beyond that, but in ways that shouldn’t be spoiled. Anyway, it’s long, patiently paced, and not a blockbuster by any means, but it’s been making a ton of money and proving very thought-provoking.

It’s Nathan Fielder at his most Nathan Fielder, which helps (and he does have a following that meant You Can See Everything was always going to get some attention), and then Lance Oppenheim also brings a lot to the film, since he’s also become quite accomplished as a documentarian/filmmaker. You Can See Everything is a documentary of sorts, but a mind-bending one that defies genre in some regards, and similar things can be said about the following films. Some are documentaries, or part-documentaries, while others are films that feel heavily meta and effortlessly thought-provoking, with all being worthwhile watches for anyone who loved and/or can’t stop thinking about You Can See Everything.
