Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly Ginnifer Goodwin as Jackie and Michelle Trachtenberg as Oswald's wife acquit themselves well in this solidly watchable, quickly forgettable dramatic snapshot of indelible history. Rated: B Nov 13, 2013 Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 12, 2013 Full Review Hank Stuever Washington Post The dialogue is painfully clumsy, and the pacing is pure Wikipedia. Nov 12, 2013 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures Might just be a little too sober. At times, it's almost as unbelievable as the throw-everything-against-the-wall story that Oliver Stone tells in JFK. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 27, 2014 Full Review Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com While there's little surprise in how it unfurls, it will still reign as the best, most attractive re-enactment of the event on tis 50th anniversary - and there will still be a lot of them. Nov 14, 2013 Full Review Adrienne Johnson News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) Certainly a film shown during the anniversary of that sad time should make you feel something. This one doesn't.

Audience Member Inaccurate and laughably wrong in every way. Bill O'Reilly clearly has not studied the JFK assassination. If he had, he would find that the evidence against Lee Harvey Oswald has so many contradictions, and inconsistencies that it doesn't add up at all. Fact of the matter is, the JFK assassination was a conspiracy, and its easy to prove so. That is if you analyze the evidence on both sides of the debate unbiasedly. Once you do, you'll find that the evidence for a conspiracy is so overwhelming, and that Oswald was framed for the crime. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Very well done adaption of the Bill O'Reilly book is helped by strong acting by Rob Lowe. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review farah r Informative in a most enjoyable way. Killing Kennedy feels more like a motion picture and less like a documentary thanks to the great cinematography and captivating performances of Rob Lowe and Ginnifer Goodwin. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent film combining new and old footage extremely well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member some of the cast where strong. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Informative. Interesting. I enjoyed it. "Killing Kennedy" is a must-see for anyone who is interested about JFK. Nice cast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
