Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck (2015) 70%

Some really interesting footage. Has the common biopic flaw of inflating the importance of ordinary. I’m also struck by how, as with this, many biopics imply a “rags-to-riches” trajectory, but also have ample video of the subject as a child. Up until a couple decades ago, video recording in that fashion was not common. Must have been silk rags in most of these cases.

The Captive (2014) 60%

Contains a good atmosphere and a fascinating depiction of vulnerability due to predictability. Uses asynchrony that adds more confusion than mystery. Many unexplored vectors seem more like editing flaws than the red herrings they were probably intended to be.
