Killing Kennedy Reviews

Movie Reviews

• you won't come away from it with any new answers, but it's a useful reminder of why the drama of that day has transfixed Americans for half a century

  by David Wiegand [San Francisco Chronicle ]

• too often feeling like a book report version of history

  by Brian Lowry [Variety ]

• there's nothing terribly wrong with "Killing Kennedy." We just don't need the splashes of Hollywood in a story we already know way too well

  by David Hinckley [NY Daily News ]

• there's no real attempt at authenticity or immediacy, but the clarity of simple A to B to C storytelling offers some satisfaction

  Review rate : C- by Zack Handlen [A.V. Club ]

• the even larger issue is familiarity. We already know too much and paradoxically too little about the JFK assassination. A TV movie needed to tell us something we don't know. No dice here

  Review rate : C+ by Verne Gay [Newsday ]
