In the fall of 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald (Will Rothhaar) carries out a plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy (Rob Lowe) in Dallas.

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

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

Washington Post

The dialogue is painfully clumsy, and the pacing is pure Wikipedia.

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

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.

Certainly a film shown during the anniversary of that sad time should make you feel something. This one doesn't.

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.

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.
