Thirty years after his film JFK, filmmaker Oliver Stone takes viewers on a journey though recently declassified evidence in the assassination of President Kennedy -- the most consequential American murder mystery of the twentieth century. Joined by Oscar-winning narrators Whoopi Goldberg and Donald Sutherland, as well as a distinguished team of forensics, medical and ballistics experts, historians, and witnesses, Stone presents compelling evidence that in the Kennedy case "conspiracy theory" is now "conspiracy fact."

Although it's frustratingly casual with the line between facts and conjecture, JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass reaffirms Oliver Stone's gifts as an engaging raconteur.

Barry Hertz Globe and Mail The sometimes mesmerizing, sometimes frustrating film proves that Stone, ever the professional provocateur, still has what it takes to rile an audience. Mar 3, 2022 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times we are left with a jumble of loosely connected discrepancies that will do little to persuade those who expect everyday existence to be just that chaotic. Rated: 2/5 Nov 26, 2021 Full Review Danny Leigh Financial Times Stone being Stone, all is instantly conclusive. As usual too, the distinction is not always clear between declassified papers and assorted, malevolent stuff. Rated: 3/5 Nov 25, 2021 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Now as then, it’s best to ignore the windbags, who methinks doth protest too much anyway. JFK (1991), starring Kevin Costner, is an often extraordinary movie. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 20, 2024 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia Stone doesn't seek to provide answers to the Kennedy assassination, but rather to vindicate with a magnifying glass the spectrum of questions about the powers that played a key role in the disastrous episode of American history. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Nov 26, 2022 Full Review Taylor Baker Drink in the Movies Pieces of evidence like this ... and covered up eyewitness testimony leave one frustrated, but thankful to Stone for assembling an easily digestible, high quality, dummy-proof piece of journalism that ultimately provides more questions than answers.

Pablo D Very telling and a must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/25 Full Review Nick A Incredible work, thank you! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review John R The JFK assassination was a nodal point in US history. Oliver Stones's JFK Revisited really explores some of the issues raised in his 1991 JFK film that critics raised with the film and is a very good response. I have little doubt that the CIA was involved in the assassination. The CIA has been instrumental in the overthrow of many democratic governments since it's creation, from Arbenz in Guatemala to Mosaddegh in Iran to Lumumba in the Congo, to De Gaul in France. All these were just in the 1950s and 60s. The Dulles brothers were involved in many of these travesties. The true nature of the US is glimpsed in this film. Democracy is not what the US or the CIA is about. It is about empire and you can see this through many of Oliver Stones films. Stone has done a great service to freedom loving people with these JFK films and his antiwar films. Long live Oliver Stone! Please note, there is a 4 hour series called JFK Revisited Destiny Betrayed that is an expanded version of this 2 hr version. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Andrea L Having read multiple JFK assassination books including JFK: The Unspeakable and Hit List among about 6 others, much of the information in this movie is accurate and informative but poorly organized and presented by Stone. The music is absolutely horrible as so loud you cannot even hear the narration.....even though we use subtitles. The music was too loud, distracting and made following the data even more difficult. I had seen it before and remembered it was lousy, but was encouraged to "buy" it again on Prime...luckily was only 1.79 as husband fell asleep and I was so annoyed by music that we turned off after an hour. I had learned about much of information from other, more concrete sources without the loud distractions. I was surprised at the poor editing in a Stone film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Jacob N Conspiracies and nonsense. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review Alerik A The documentary was interesting and talks about one of my favorite presidents of all time. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
