Penny Lane’s mind-rearranging documentary NUTS! — about goat-testicles titan Dr. John Brinkley, the ur-Trump of 1930 — started the year as a prize-winner at Sundance (Best Editing, I mean the six animators alone…). It’s streaming now over Amazon and iTunes. And as the year-end lists come rolling out:
Richard Brody’s “Best Movies of 2016” at The New Yorker
“Weirdest Pop Culture” at The Verge
“Ten Best Documentaries of 2016” at Flavorwire
“Best Documentaries of 2016” at NonFics
“The Best-Reviewed Women-Directed Films of 2016” at Women and Hollywood
All this despite the fact that I turn up in it as a talking head…
