The Swamp Ratings & Reviews
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
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.
Splice Today
Stephen Silver
Comes at politics from a rather odd angle, trying to make earnest points about politics while following around the ridiculous Matt Gaetz.
FilmDrunk
Vincent Mancini
A must-watch dissection of how politics became sports and why we can't afford to keep treating it that way.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"The Swamp" is full of insights and tasty details about how the culture of Washington operates.
NBC News THINK
Noah Berlatsky
By arguing this is a bipartisan issue, the doc pushes talking points that will make it harder, not easier, to fix our multiple, overlapping political catastrophes.
Decider
Meghan O'Keefe
You'll learn more about how Congress works (insomuch as it doesn't).

An interesting look inside anyway.
Big Picture Big Sound
Matthew Passantino
Focusing on Gaetz's political fame is nowhere near as interesting as defining the swamp and how politicians walk the fine line of fundraising in light of the guidelines imposed upon them by their party.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
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.
AV Club
Alex McLevy
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.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
It turns out to be all talk for the most part, but it is an interesting conversation, and an intriguing, if sometimes flawed, film.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
"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.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
The film proves less about dredging the swamp than the filmmakers gaining the opportunity to provide a close-up view of what it's like to muck around in it, a process that offers less clarity or insight than advertised.

Christian Toto
The documentary starts in a fair and balanced fashion before the bias kicks in.
