Well-constructed, but to little purpose other than the personal.
East Bay Express
Rating: 3/5 --
While not terribly surprising in its revelations, the film does manage to illicit empathy as an intimate portrait of a cold, distant father, struggling to reconcile not only his duplicitous life between work and family but also between work and politics.

Fascinating.

Rating: B+ --
This is a riveting and important film that does not rest too heavily on the connection between its subject's personal emptiness and the moral failures Colby would come to regret.

Rating: B --
Shows little sign of the deep emotional undercurrents one might expect in a son's treatment of his father, but it does present a clear, incisive yet tantalizingly incomplete portrait of a fascinating and complicated man.

One Guy's Opinion
The densely packed, questioning documentary THE MAN NOBODY KNEW: IN SEARCH OF MY FATHER, CIA SPYMASTER WILLIAM COLBY is a remarkable feat of personalized biography.
Los Angeles Times
Product Description:
This probing documentary from Carl Coby investigates a figure at once cloaked in mystery and close to his heart: his father, CIA operative William Coby. From his father's early career parachuting into Europe during WWII, to election tampering in Italy, to the controversial Phoenix Program during Vietnam, Coby's father's exploits are studied in depth, sometime for the first time ever, with a mix of professional and personal insight.
