In my
rankings of all the 2013
films I saw last year, In a World... placed 50th and though a few things I've seen have bumped it down since, it still remains among the top third
of last year's offerings, residing in the «Good, Not Great»
section.
O.J.: Made In America likely would have made the cut if not for a (totally defensible) editorial decision to classify it as television rather than
film, but I voted for three other docs this year: Tower (addressed in the «outlier»
section of my ballot), Author: The JT LeRoy Story (which correctly recognizes that letting Laura Albert expand on her own «myth» makes for better cinema than any objective investigative alternative), and Weiner... which
ranked lowest on my personal list, but is the one I'm most surprised not to see on the collective list.
