Every 2018 Oscar Nominee Ranked From Worst To Best

5. Strong Island

Strong Island
Netflix

Nominations: 1 - Best Documentary Feature

Another towering documentary offering from Netflix, Strong Island sees filmmaker Yance Ford intimately reflect on the 1992 murder of his brother William Ford, and the circumstances which allowed his death to go unpunished.

As a first-time filmmaking effort, this is a truly bewildering feat and all the more impressive given how eagerly Ford probes into his own life and points the camera at himself.

Making an extremely persuasive case through damning interviews and boosted by exceptional editing, Strong Island is one of Netflix's best Originals to date and well worth your time.
