Interesting but unfocused, The Swamp's multi-subject approach opens the floor for a lot of questions - and answers very few. Read critic reviews

Directors DiMauro and Pehme fully recognize that these supposed rebels-and Gaetz in particular-are bald-faced hypocrites who don't walk their own talk.

"The Swamp" is full of insights and tasty details about how the culture of Washington operates.

The Swamp is watchable and full of interesting pieces of Congressional trivia, some that I actually hadn't known previously. It's still a railroaded documentary.

The documentary's most useful tactic is how it demonstrates the ways that hyper-partisanship, and hateful rhetoric on both sides, is actually serving the corrupt status quo far more effectively than any outright bribery ever could.

It turns out to be all talk for the most part, but it is an interesting conversation, and an intriguing, if sometimes flawed, film.
August 4, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… -
"The Swamp" is watchable mainly for its willingness to hang around with the likes of 38-year-old Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and give him a fair and up-close chance to explain himself as a self-styled iconoclast.
