Oscars 2025: Predictions for animated, international and documentary feature
LA TimesLooking at the front-runners in the Oscar races for animated feature, international film and documentary, I’d guess you’ve seen two of the three movies leading their respective categories. DreamWorks Animation’s “The Wild Robot” arrived at the end of September, three weeks after the rapturous reception it received at its Toronto International Film Festival premiere. The one movie you probably haven’t seen is “No Other Land,” a look at the devastating costs of displacement in the southern West Bank. There’s also the beautifully shot “Vermiglio,” a drama exploring the complex dynamics of a rural family living in the Italian mountains bordering Germany near the end of World War II. DOCUMENTARY FEATURE Will Ferrell and Harper Steele in the documentary “Will & Harper.” Netflix acquired three documentaries out of the 2024 Sundance Film Festival — “Will & Harper,” “Daughters” and “The Remarkable Life of Ibelin.” They’re all streaming on the platform now, and they’re all worth a look.
