The 10 - The Mos t Underrated Documentary List of All Time

Hidden Gems You Can’t Miss

Documentaries have the power to illuminate, challenge, and inspire, yet some of the most profound films fly under the radar. While titles like Blackfish or March of the Penguins dominate conversations, there’s a treasure trove of underrated works that deserve your attention. Here’s a curated list of documentaries that are criminally overlooked—each one a masterpiece in its own right.

1. The Act of Killing (2012)

Director: Joshua Oppenheimer Why It’s Underrated: A chilling exploration of guilt and denial, this film invites Indonesian death squad leaders to reenact their atrocities in surreal Hollywood-style genres. It’s as much a psychological study as it is a historical document, yet its unsettling subject matter keeps it out of mainstream circles. Watch For: The haunting scene where a perpetrator dances on a rooftop draped in sequins, grappling with his past.

2. Honeyland (2019)

Directors: Tamara Kotevska, Ljubomir Stefanov Why It’s Underrated: This quiet, visually stunning film follows Macedonia’s last wild beekeeper, Hatidže, as her livelihood clashes with greed and environmental decay. Its slow pace and poetic storytelling make it a hidden gem. Watch For: The intimate moments between Hatidže and her ailing mother, framed like Renaissance paintings.

3. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)

Director: Kurt Kuenne Why It’s Underrated: A raw, emotionally gutting tribute to a murdered friend, crafted as a video diary for his infant son. Its twists feel like a thriller, but its heartbreak is deeply human—often overlooked due to its unflinching intensity. Watch For: The way the filmmaker’s grief transforms the narrative structure.

4. The Imposter (2012)

Director: Bart Layton Why It’s Underrated: This stranger-than-fiction tale about a French conman who impersonates a missing Texas boy blurs the line between documentary and noir thriller. Its jaw-dropping twists are overshadowed by flashier true-crime hits. Watch For: The chilling confessionals from the imposter himself, Frédéric Bourdin.

5. The Look of Silence (2014)

Director: Joshua Oppenheimer Why It’s Underrated: A companion piece to The Act of Killing, this film shifts focus to the victims of Indonesia’s genocide. Its quiet power—centered on a man confronting his brother’s killers—is often eclipsed by its predecessor’s shock value. Watch For: The tension in a simple eye exam between a survivor and a perpetrator.

6. Collective (2019)

Director: Alexander Nanau Why It’s Underrated: This Romanian exposé uncovers corruption in the healthcare system after a deadly nightclub fire. It plays like a real-life political thriller but remains niche outside film festival circuits. Watch For: The jaw-dropping scene where a government official resigns live on camera.

7. Cameraperson (2016)

Director: Kirsten Johnson Why It’s Underrated: A cinematic memoir crafted from footage shot by Johnson (a veteran cinematographer) across war zones and intimate moments. It’s a meditation on memory and ethics, but its experimental structure keeps it under the radar. Watch For: The juxtaposition of a boxing match in Brooklyn with a birth in Nigeria.

8. The Mole Agent (2020)

Director: Maite Alberdi Why It’s Underrated: A Chilean octogenarian becomes a spy in a nursing home in this tender, humorous film about aging and loneliness. Its gentle pace and quirky charm make it a hidden delight. Watch For: Sergio’s endearing rapport with the nursing home residents.

9. Hoop Dreams (1994)

Directors: Steve James Why It’s Underrated: Though hailed by critics, this epic 3-hour journey following two Chicago teens pursuing basketball stardom is often absent from “best of” lists. Its exploration of race, class, and ambition remains timeless. Watch For: The heart-wrenching scene where injury dashes a lifelong dream.

Why These Films Matter

Underrated documentaries often tackle uncomfortable truths or eschew traditional narratives, making them harder to market but infinitely more rewarding. They remind us that brilliance isn’t always measured by box office numbers or algorithm boosts.

Where to Watch: Many are available on streaming platforms like Netflix, Criterion Channel, or Kanopy. Others might require a deeper dig—trust us, it’s worth it.

Your Turn: What documentaries do you think deserve more love? Share your hidden gems in the comments—let’s keep the conversation alive.

Dive deeper, watch widely, and remember: The best stories are often the ones you have to seek out.

(via Oscar 2025 Miglior film internazionale: la Romania seleziona Three Kilometres to the End of the World )

La Romania punta agli Oscar2025 con Three Kilometers to the End of the World, un dramma che scuote le coscienze, indagando le profondità dei pregiudizi e le conseguenze devastanti che possono avere su una comunità, svelando come ipocrisie e fragilità viaggiano sullo stesso binario.

Nella storia degli Oscar la Romania ha conquistato 1 nomination con il pluripremiato documentario Colectiv diretto da Alexander Nanau che riuscì ad entrare anche nella cinquina per il miglior documentario. Solo 1 volta è riuscita poi ad entrare nella short-list dei semifinalisti senza però ottenere la candidatura e cioè nel 2013 con Oltre le colline di Cristian Mungiu.

Colectiv (Collective), 2019, Alexander Nanau, documentary

Most of my entries are quite positive but unfortunately not this one. I saw this movie a few months ago and unfortunately, the longer I thought about this film, the less I appreciated it. Even during the movie, I had to stop from time to time to recollect myself because I got so annoyed by this film.

So the documentary has in focus the aftermath of the fire from a club from Bucharest in 2015 that claimed the life of many young people. Although many died during the fire, a lot more died the following days in the hospitals due to poor conditions, insufficient and inadequate resources and as the movie uncovers, a corrupt system that kept hidden all those problems.

I remember very well the night the accident happened, and the national heartbreak as daily more and more deceased were announced. I also remember the public outrage, which for many middle-class Romanians was a sort of political awakening and call for action, which unfortunately got limited in its scope over time. I remember the protests in the streets and the hope we got when the government fell, and how people were discussing further demands and ways of organizing politically.

Although the film is called Collective, after the club that burned, the documentary has in focus a handful of journalists who investigate the corruption that hid behind the death toll from the hospitals on the one hand, and one politician who was replacing temporary the Ministry of Health after the fall of the government.

The film starts with gruesome raw footage from the fire, which I have to say did not felt very comfortable watching and it felt like opening a closed wound. I don't think many will agree, but I felt the movie was kinda exploiting the macabre image of the fire that triggers a powerful emotional response as well as the image of the burnt victims without actually giving them much thought or voice. This is the main reason this documentary did not sit well with me. I felt when watching the film that the victims had no real agency, were never given a voice or a space to express themselves in any way. I felt that throughout the movie the victims were used as props, as passive objects to pity and not fully-fledged subjects within of a film focused on an accident in which they were directly involved. Although it is suggested, and the movie starts with them in focus, you soon realize that the stars of the movie are some journalists (for which I have all the respect) and one over his head politician, who is framed as some big saviour and tragic hero.

Here is where we arrive at my second issue with this movie, the obvious propagandistic overtone o the film. It seemed to me that the whole movie was constructed on a clear and simple narrative, in which Vlad Voiculescu was some sort of hero that was fighting a corrupt system. Especially the second part was dedicated almost exclusively to the mediocre politician image.

I supposed I am maybe a bit unfair to this documentary, which had its strengths of capturing a complicated event in recent Romanian history in an eloquent way. It's just that it fed on an anti-corruption narrative that has so many issues in Romania, and which is used in order to push a neoliberal agenda of further weakening the state and expanding privatisations. I probably would have liked it more if I did not live in Romania and did not feel the consequences of the neoliberal policies, and also if I did not hear the washed-up narrative of anti-corruption for so many years. Yes, corruption is bad, but is not just an East-European problem and definitely is not the only or even main issue in this part of the world. Anti-corruption is just a simple answer to a bunch of complicated problems. 7/10

Collective (2019)

This is a documentary following journalists and politicians in the aftermath of the 2015 Colectiv nightclub fire in Bucharest, Romania. It was really really good. The true story must be so incredibly complicated and convoluted, this movie felt like it was bursting at the seams trying to get as much relevant in as possible in while honouring the victims of the fire.
