Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
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.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
A portrait of a wartime leader determined to avoid, at any cost, an honest perspective.
Seattle Times
What 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.

Delights in exploring sophistry and fine distinctions of language.

Antagony & Ecstasy
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.

Product Description:
In THE UNKNOWN KNOWN, award-winning documentarian Errol Morris turns his camera on the career of Donald Rumsfeld, who served in numerous executive positions throughout his career in Washington, D.C., but most famously as Secretary of Defense in the first decade of the 21st century. During his tenure at that job, he helped orchestrate the Iraq War, and became a controversial figure for many of the things that transpired under his watch. Morris uses his typical stylized approach -- including first-hand interviews with Rumsfeld himself -- and a wealth of archival footage to delineate how his subject's public statements and private actions did not always reconcile. THE UNKNOWN KNOWN screened at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.
