When it comes to documentaries on Netflix, the streaming giant tends to prefer the limited series route, taking their time to explore a subject deeply over several episodes. However, there are dozens of amazing documentary movies in Netflix’s vast content library that are absolutely worth the watch. Here are the 10 best.
Stutz (2022)
Directed by Jonah Hill, Stutz is an incredibly personal look inside the world of therapy. Hill talks with psychiatrist Phil Stutz about his early life, his unique experiences, and the incredible power of therapy to help and save people’s lives.
Becoming (2020)
Inspired by her 2018 memoir, Becoming is an Emmy-winning look inside the life of former First Lady and activist Michelle Obama. The doc follows Michelle on the book signing tour for her memoir and takes a surprisingly in-detail look at the philanthropic work she does across diverse communities throughout America.
WHAM! (2023)
The title should say it all. WHAM! explores the history of the iconic group, following George Michael and Andrew Ridgley, from humble beginnings in England to selling out arenas across the globe.
Sr. (2022)
Sr. is a hidden gem in the Netflix documentary catalog. The series focuses on the iconic filmmaker Robert Downey Sr., as his son Downey Jr. explores his father’s life and legacy.
