What to Know

Critics Consensus

Interesting but unfocused, The Swamp's multi-subject approach opens the floor for a lot of questions - and answers very few.

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. Go to Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety 08/06/2020
"The Swamp" is full of insights and tasty details about how the culture of Washington operates. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 08/04/2020
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. Go to Full Review Adrian Hennigan Haaretz 08/24/2020
Yet while I didn't come out of "The Swamp" with any more respect for Republican lawmakers than when I went in (okay, maybe a smidgen in a couple of cases), I did find the film and Gaetz equally fascinating. Go to Full Review Stephen Silver Splice Today 08/21/2020
2/5
Comes at politics from a rather odd angle, trying to make earnest points about politics while following around the ridiculous Matt Gaetz. Go to Full Review Vincent Mancini FilmDrunk 08/14/2020
A-
A must-watch dissection of how politics became sports and why we can't afford to keep treating it that way. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/10/2020 Pretty good interesting documentary about the Republicans and I'm glad I watched this. It's interesting to see all sides of politics and I'm not taking any sides but politics can be entertaining at times and this is one of those instances. See more s r @ScottR 09/02/2020 I enjoyed it despite Gaetz, but then again I love the hill. See more 08/30/2020 Total trash. I can't get back the 30 min I spent watching Matt Gaetz be the definition of a spoiled d-bag. All three of these people are awful. See more 08/16/2020 "The Swamp" is another political documentary that will make your blood boil with the behind-the-scenes look at the financial corruption in Washington seen mostly through the side of a few Republican Congressman who don't quite seem to grasp the hypocrisy of what they say. See more 08/13/2020 Such a fresh look at whats happening in DC! Explains a lot. This film does an amazing job of exposing the bi-partisan corruption in Congress. It also has several hilarious scenes. HBO doing what they do! See more Read all reviews
