It can sometimes be unfair and difficult to criticize this kind of film. Yes, it´s pretty but nowadays most filmmakers can make such films. We should demand more of the best. Aquarela is a poetic documentary that focuses on the power and beauty of water around the world. The cinematography is impressive, and some of the shots are truly breathtaking. However, the film doesn't follow a traditional story or offer much context, which made it feel slow and a bit hard to stay engaged at times. It's more of an experience than a story driven documentary-great if you're into visuals and atmosphere, but it might not be for everyone looking for a clear narrative or deeper knowledge.

This is one to watch even today! And it changed how documentaries were made. "Salesman" is a powerful and surprisingly emotional documentary. It follows a group of Bible salesmen in the late 1960s, showing the tough, often thankless job of going door to door. What makes it so special is how real and honest it feels-nothing is staged, and you really get to know the people behind the sales pitch. It's both sad and fascinating, and you come away thinking about the struggles people face just trying to get by. The Maysles brothers did an amazing job capturing real life in a way that still feels meaningful today.

The camera´s access to World leaders is mind boggling and the score by Röyksopp is awesome! I felt the story was tight and engaging - not as historical and archive based as I had expected. There are some truly spectacular moments between Zelensky, Stoltenberg, Orban and Erdogan in this film, interactions between the World´s most powerful people that I haven't seen captured on camera before. It´s an extremely timely piece given the geopolitical situation we find ourselves in and I just hope that all political leaders could study the work being done in "Facing War". The film somehow shows that we are all human beings trying to cope withe the situation as best as we can.
