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

Morris's commentary comes in the form of stunning images ... and a truly beautiful score ... The Unknown Known is revealing, but what it reveals is emptiness. April 21, 2014 | Full Review…

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. April 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. April 11, 2014 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

The film may not be Morris's strongest film, but it's certainly a worthy edition to the pantheon of investigative oddities he's been building over the course of the last three decades. November 4, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | 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. March 8, 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. October 10, 2017 | Full Review…
