Leave your thoughts about The Unknown Known.
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawWhen Rumsfeld laughs, it's frightening--an alien thing's attempt to simulate a human emotion. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonMorris 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. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...it becomes apparent that Rumsfeld is a situational pragmatist with a remarkable ability to craft responses that seek to transpose evasiveness into authority. |
| Boston GlobeMark Feeney“The Fog of War” (2003), about McNamara, won Morris a best documentary feature Oscar. The Unknown Known takes its title from a favorite phrase of Rumsfeld. It also accurately describes its subject, whose smiling inscrutability makes him consistently fascinating and often maddening. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectNauseating claptrap that allows a war criminal to waste 103 minutes of our time and over $10 of our hard-earned money in self-justification. Errol Morris should be ashamed of himself. |
| Paste MagazineTim GriersonWhat we have on display here are the workings of a formidable intellect. The film is a case study in unbridled self-assurance. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttThe movie frustrates you as Errol Morris seems to pick up the bad habit of his subject - tedious repetition. |
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireAmounts to a valuable if tremendously damning commentary on our current political culture. |
| GrantlandWesley MorrisWhat emerges is a fascinating portrait of a bygone approach to power, marked by a seemingly contradictory mix of transparency and obfuscation. Rumsfeld embodies that discrepancy. |
| CinemonkeyD.K. Holm"It's really more of a very minor TV broadcast, both because of its lack of substance but also because of its cinematic obviousness." |
