Reviews for Interview with the Assassin
Top CriticBegins as a promising meditation on one of America's most durable obsessions but winds up as a slender cinematic stunt.
11/22/02
As an exercise in stripped-down filmmaking, Interview is grimly effective.
11/22/02
In the end, the movie bogs down in insignificance, saying nothing about Kennedy's assassination and revealing nothing about the pathology it pretends to investigate.
11/22/02
Top CriticIt's an interesting effort (particularly for JFK conspiracy nuts), and Barry's cold-fish act makes the experience worthwhile.
11/22/02
An uneven exploration of the T-shirt slogan question posed by Walter's claim: Is he paranoid, or is everybody really out to get him?
11/22/02
Comes off as a film-school stunt that never breathes the air outside its sealed-off universe.
11/22/02
An interesting premise that's well executed (no pun intended) and works more often than not. The best part about this film is that it takes you places you have no idea you're going to go.

There's no reason to miss Interview with the Assassin
11/22/02
Deliciously scary and absorbing.
11/21/02
A savvy exploration of paranoia and insecurity in America's culture of fear.
11/21/02
Top CriticConsummate actor Barry has done excellent work here.
11/21/02
A refreshingly coherent, engrossing piece.
11/21/02
Outside of Burger's desire to make some kind of film, it's really unclear why this project was undertaken
11/21/02
There is enough creativity on display to make the film intriguing. Unlike the subject of the story, however, Interview with the Assassin misses its target.
11/20/02
...a superior faux documentary that gives credence to all of the conspiracy theories that were spawned by the gunfire in Dealey Plaza so many years ago.
11/20/02
The casting of Raymond J. Barry as the 'assassin' greatly enhances the quality of Neil Burger's impressive fake documentary.
11/19/02
The atmosphere is thick with conspiracy and the potential for danger.
11/19/02
A fantastic premise anchors this movie, but what it needs is either a more rigid, Blair Witch-style commitment to its mockumentary format, or a more straightforward, dramatic treatment, with all the grandiosity that that implies.
11/18/02
Keep(s) in line with the unique and chilling tradition of great Kennedy conspiracy lore.
