Box Office: Direct-to-Netflix.

Verdict: A fascinating documentary about a filmmaker investigating the theft of her own film three decades prior, Shirkers is at once an affectionate tribute to independent filmmaking and a beguiling mystery revolving around the enigmatic director who fled with all of the movie's footage.

Punctuated by gorgeous excerpts of the eventually-recovered footage while unspooling an intensely bizarre character study, Shirkers is a testament to creativity and perseverance, not to mention the power of shared experiences.

Also, props to Netflix for picking up such a left-field festival hit that's going to get many more eyes on it following their acquisition.
