The Bookies Favourite:
- Free Solo 8/11
- RBG 1/1
- Minding the Gap 14/1
Our Winner:
- RBG – Despite feeling a little like a documentary made before it is too late (Ginsberg appears in the film as a very frail, but very tough old lady), RBG tells a story that feels like a Julia Roberts movie as a quiet and unassuming legal student rises to challenge the very institution of law and on most fronts wins.
The Academy Award Winner
- Free Solo

Free Solo | 2018 | Whilst the actual climbing (without any rope or harness or other safety measures) is totally exhilarating, the documentary was actually pretty dull. | Gordon | 6 |

Minding the Gap | 2018 | Starts as a standard documentary about the camaraderie of a 'family' of skateboarders, but then morphs into an exploration of domestic violence in an American rust best town. Felt personal (and somewhat home-made), but didn't fully explore its topic. | Gordon | 6 |

RBG | 2018 | Notorious RBG isn't a rapper, she is an octogenarian Supreme Court Judge who has spent her life championing women's rights. This documentary tells her story and offers a fascinating insight into a remarkable woman. | Gordon | 8 |
