Rookie Season (2022)
A different kind of documentary
Caught this film in theaters, and again on amazon recently, and man did it deliver both times. As a sports fan who's not too big into cars I wasn't sure quite what to expect. But I was blown away by all the action from start to finish. While I didn't understand everything racing related, I didn't ever feel lost. Overall it felt a lot more like watching a narrative film to me than a documentary, which I really liked. Watching people sit in chairs talking to the camera has always been a pet peeve of mine, but there was none of that here. They used voices only to narrate it, and it was kind of a fly on the wall style of filming that made you feel like you were right there with the team. Overall I highly recommend this to anyone into sports and competition or if you're looking for an alternatively filmed and edited documentary!
