Werner Herzog presents this morbidly fascinating documentary about David Crowley, a soldier who became a filmmaker after his tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Stephen King adaptations were everywhere in 2017, from the blockbuster “It” to “Gerald’s Game,” “The Dark Tower,” and more, but no adaptation was as impressive as “1922.” Thomas Jane gives his best performance in ages in this poetic take on King’s novella about a farmer who conspires to kill his wife (Molly Parker) and recruits his son to help him commit the crime. The movie unfolds like a slow-burn thriller, shifting between 16 different subjects in 13 states for a fascinating, scattershot countdown to Election Day’s inevitable shocking finale. Jeff Deutchman’s “11/8/16” brings together Election Day footage from nearly 30 directors to create a portrait of the nation as Donald Trump officially rose to power.
