Every 2018 Oscar Nominee Ranked From Worst To Best

29. Icarus

Nominations: 1 - Best Documentary Feature

With its gimmicky premise - an amateur cyclist attempts to take performance-enhancing drugs in order to test current doping regulations - Icarus could've easily allowed its presentation to cannibalise its message, but thanks to a tautly-constructed "narrative" and array of shocking surprises, Icarus is an absolute home run.

Venturing far beyond its set-up to examine the full extent of Russia's state-sponsored doping program, this is at once a jaw-dropping and thrilling film that couldn't be better-timed with the upcoming FIFA World Cup taking place in Russia.

And better still, it's a Netflix Original, so you can stream it right now.
