Viewers hoping to see Donald Rumsfeld admit making mistakes in public office (or hoping Errol Morris will force him to give straight answers) may find The Unknown Known frustrating -- but no less fascinating.

By now the director's technique is so savvy, so confident in its visual layering and atmospheric assurance, even a dodgy, cagey camera subject such as Rumsfeld becomes movieworthy. Apr 17, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Morris doesn't "break" Rumsfeld, as some think he did McNamara. He has held a mirror up to the man, and found no reflection. The viewer simply has to realize that what's important is what's not there. Apr 11, 2014 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

The Unknown Known is a worthy addition to Morris's body of work, an epic search that demonstrates the limits of language, the ease of sidestepping truth. Apr 4, 2014 | Full Review…

A gladiatorial bout for the Information Age, we may not come out knowing a much more than we did going in, but it's hard to dismiss the historical value Morris' interrogation may have in the future. Mar 7, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

As a history lesson in digest form, it's eminently valuable for cracking Rumsfeld's cheshire grin without employing unsound interrogation methods. Oct 10, 2017 | Full Review…

He poses simple questions and lets them talk, and talk, and talk. In doing so, he gives them enough rope to hang themselves. Jun 18, 2016 | Full Review…
