This visionary new documentary from Oscar-nominated writer-director Raoul Peck examines the lasting relevance – and disturbing prescience – of George Orwell’s life and work. It’s not interested in hagiography, but it’s also not afraid of some solid exposition, grounding viewers in Orwell’s early life before catapulting into the work for which he’s known. As The New York Times puts it in naming the film a Critic’s Pick, “Peck is undeniably intrigued by Orwell the man, but always in relation to the world that he harrowingly diagnosed.” Told through a rigorous display of archival sources including family photos, filmic adaptations of 1984 and contemporary news footage showing the horrors wrought by authoritarianism – from the U.S. Capitol to Gaza. Perhaps this is why Rolling Stone proclaims it “The Scariest Movie of 2025.” Nominated for the Golden Eye award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the National Board of Review just named ORWELL: 2+2=5 one of the Top 5 Documentaries of 2025. It also received seven Critics Choice Documentary Awards nominations, and won for Best Score and Best Narration (voiced by Golden Globe & Emmy Award winner Damian Lewis).
