In Brief: Rides the line between documentary and straight-up document. Indelible images, but more framing or structure wouldn't hurt.

VOR:   Beyond its up-close chronicle of a medically and historically important moment, it's a rare, revealing glimpse into a hospital's human ecology.

Grade: B


Awards:
