A documentary explores the world of crossword puzzles, from the people who create and edit them to devoted solvers competing in a major national tournament. Along the way, it reveals the skill, humor, dedication, and community surrounding this surprisingly absorbing pastime.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy puzzles, documentaries about passionate communities, and gentle humor; Not for you if crossword solving feels too subdued or the competition lacks enough drama.
