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. Go to Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 11/12/2013
2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Hank Stuever Washington Post 11/12/2013
The dialogue is painfully clumsy, and the pacing is pure Wikipedia. Go to Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures 02/27/2014
2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com 11/14/2013
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. Go to Full Review Adrienne Johnson News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) 11/14/2013
Certainly a film shown during the anniversary of that sad time should make you feel something. This one doesn't. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

12/10/2020 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. See more 10/20/2016 Very well done adaption of the Bill O'Reilly book is helped by strong acting by Rob Lowe. See more farah r @Farah 10/04/2016 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. See more 08/10/2016 Excellent film combining new and old footage extremely well. See more 01/18/2016 some of the cast where strong. See more 11/29/2015 Informative. Interesting. I enjoyed it. "Killing Kennedy" is a must-see for anyone who is interested about JFK. Nice cast. See more Read all reviews
