20 Awesome Movies You Didn't Know Were Still Coming In 2020

4. Dick Johnson Is Dead

The Midnight Sky George Clooney
Netflix

Perhaps the most widely praised documentary out of Sundance 2020 - and also the winner of the Special Jury Award for Innovation in Non-fiction Storytelling - Dick Johnson Is Dead follows director Kirsten Johnson as she ponders her father's dementia through the lens of filmmaking itself.

Father and daughter conceive and act out a number of surreal dramatisation of ways in which her father could die, which reviewers have dubbed a triumph of black comedy both infectiously hilarious and emotionally devastating.

For anyone craving a left-field documentary which plays with the form in a truly creative and heartfelt way, look no further.

Dick Johnson is Dead is released on Netflix on October 2nd.
