Top films of 2012 | Betsy Sharkey
We had a wealth of documentaries that looked at the wreckage of broken infrastructures, but the one that affected me most was “Detropia’s,” top, unsparing but still beautiful examination of a crumbling Detroit. This cautionary tale directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady was spun with intelligence, candor and depth. No soft-soaping the situations and yet there was hope that a few strong spirits could rise above, that indeed change might be possible. (Honorable mention for docs “Brooklyn Castle,” left, and “The House I Live In,” right.) (Loki Films / Producers Distribution Agency / Charlotte Street Films)
