Too fraudulent to work as fact; too melodramatic to work as fiction.

Thought-provoking and riveting, as both a poltical thriller and a partial problem solver.
07/19/03
The conspiracy theory of the murder of JFK is given front stage by Stone. Intriguing and thought provoking piece.

The film's insurmountable problem is the vast amount of material it fails to make coherent sense of.
05/20/03
Top CriticJFK, another film directed by that man mired in the 60's, Oliver Stone, is an excellent film indeed, but one that should not be taken too seriously.

It may be pushing it's own angle, but damn if it's not rivetting.

Stone's best film.
12/01/02
The film's argument is both engaging and ridiculous -- and [it] is also one of the best shot and edited films in recent memory.

whether or not you agree with Stone's theory, you'll be wowed by his filmmaking

One doesn't have to buy the Warren Commission's version of the nightmare in Dallas to find Stone's hysterical conspiracy theory monumentally unconvincing.
01/09/02
As speculation, JFK is riveting. As proof, it's bunk. Stone has turned what he considers the crime of the century into a disturbing anomaly -- a dishonest search for truth.
