Navalny?(2022) follows the the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and his poisoning, but has since been imprisoned. He's very charismatic and there's a great scene when he tracks down and phones the guy who poisoned him on camera. It's no wonder it won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature.

Something more than a jump scare,?The Lighthouse?(2019) is truly terrifying. I highly recommend this existential horror if you're in the mood for something spooky, Robert Eggers is a fantastic director with a keen eye for detail and a passion for history...
