| HitFixLiane Bonin StarrRothhaar captures the wild-eyed intensity of a man on the edge, then the focus of a man with a horrific plan to execute. Despite ourselves, we root for a different outcome, which may be the most interesting accomplishment of all. |
| VarietyBrian LowryThe overall approach amounts to hair-styling and costume design in search of an actual movie. |
| NewsdayVerne GayThe even larger issue is familiarity. We already know too much and paradoxically too little about the JFK assassination. A TV movie needed to tell us something we don't know. No dice here. |
| Washington PostHank StueverThe dialogue is painfully clumsy, and the pacing is pure Wikipedia. |
| rogercatlin.comRoger CatlinWhile 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. |
| Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenKilling Kennedy deserves some credit for attempting to retell the JFK assassination in a slightly different way but it doesn't go far enough in getting at the underpinnings of Oswald's character and motivation. |
| Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardThe pace and the performances carry the film. |
| 7M PicturesKevin CarrMight 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. |
| New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyThere's nothing terribly wrong with Killing Kennedy. We just don't need the splashes of Hollywood in a story we already know way too well. |
| Common Sense MediaJoyce SlatonBy now, the beats of the Kennedy story are familiar to even the most casual student of history. |
