If Hands on a Hardbody: The Documentary hit the spot, these will too
Documentary built on stillness, twice over
Contemplative documentary, and it commits to that

Both lean on stillness more than on documentary
Documentary approached the same way
Both working the same documentary territory
Both are built on the same subject: a true story
Made in the 2020s, in a different era of the craft
The same documentary instincts
Both are documentary through and through
Both play documentary straight
Both know what they want from documentary
The documentary is handled with the same confidence
