Leave your thoughts about Death of a President.
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsKarina MontgomeryOK, so, it's got balls and technical skills, but is it anything more than a stunt? Yes, yes it is. |
| Orlando WeeklyJohn ThomasonDeath of a President is important and provocative. It should not and cannot be ignored, no matter how much the holier-than-thou bastions of moral clarity and good taste try to dismiss it as reprehensible snuff. |
| EURWebKam WilliamsSo long as you think it's okay to depict a realistic-looking assassination of a sitting president via doctored news footage, then you're likely to enjoy this intriguing whodunit in which George Bush is blown away by one of his fed-up detractors. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirRange has a marvelous feel for the clichés and conventions of TV-news documentary, and the tone of mournful elegy he strikes here is both convincing and -- believe me, I'm shocked to be writing this -- moving. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellEvery thinking person should see Death of a President. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyIt will only leave Bush supporters wondering how one man can put up with so much hate. And it may leave Bush critics asking why they just spent $10 and 90 minutes on something that's more controversy than content. |

| Baltimore SunMichael SragowThe excitingly well-made Death of a President imagines the assassination of President Bush as a way of analyzing political violence. And Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, sight unseen, has labeled it despicable. |
