Reviews for JFK
Top CriticStone goes for the gut, but the complexity of theories surrounding the Kennedy assassination might have benefited from a cooler assessment.
06/24/06
Top CriticOliver Stone has created a maelstrom of images here. Seamlessly blending real black and white footage of Kennedy's murder with his own re-staged scenes, and working the two together results in a film that can't decide which way to go.

Top CriticIf conspiracy theories are your cup of tea -- or if you just like a good yarn -- JFK may satisfy.
01/01/00
Top CriticSad to say, Oliver Stone's three hours of bombast did little to raise the level of discussion.
03/27/09
...if you can forget some of the hyperbole, JFK comes off as a first-rate mystery thriller.

Lousy history, absolutely perfect filmmaking.

It is the director's evident passion to expose the deepest, darkest elements at work in society that really makes JFK come alive.

The film's true power lies in its ability to entertain, fascinate, teach and absorb all in one sitting.

You'll pick it apart later, but while it's going, it's one great political thriller.

A powerful, personal exploration of a complicated and crucial period in American history. Whether or not Stone gets all of his facts right, he raises very important questions.

No melhor filme de sua carreira, Stone não apenas cria um thriller político brilhante como ainda prova, sem sombra de dúvidas, que a morte de JFK foi um golpe de Estado.
