	Media	Author	Review
		Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"This wonderfully entertaining Storyville film goes some way towards finding a convincing account of who DB Cooper might have been (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tony Sokol Den of Geek	"'The Mystery of D.B. Cooper' maintains a very subtle wit throughout. The archival footage is both appropriate and occasionally hysterical (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"[It] is frustratingly short on context (...) The more this documentary grows convinced that it’s actually about D.B. Cooper, the less it has to offer about the mystery he left behind."
		Malika Harris Irish Film Critic	"One of the most exciting documentaries I've seen (...) [Its] compelling personal testimonies will shock you and leave you speechless (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"An interesting, if too brief, examination of the obsession with an ongoing mystery (...) Don't expect 'The Mysteries of D.B. Cooper' to answer whatever mysteries you might want solved in the case"
		Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"While they can’t 'all' be D.B., it’s still fun to digest the possibilities."
		Johnny Loftus Decider	"[It] tells an engrossing tale of nefarious derring-do and the power of belief, with the hook of lost cash"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Director John Dower doesn’t really engage with why this true story is so powerful until its closing minutes (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Matt Goldberg Collider	"[It] is like 'Zodiac' except it’s fun instead of tragic"
