Interview with the Assassin Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
I haven't yet decided whether Burger is exposing our paranoia or exploiting it, but if people are more inclined to believe him than the Warren Report, is that his fault?
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
Rises above its modest production values and fairly simple idea by way of veteran character actor Raymond J. Barry's riveting performance.
Variety
Walter Dawkins
Interview With the Assassin is a satisfying picture that like a pot of water on the stove keeps heating up until it explodes.

Cole Smithey
Fascinating.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
[Barry] gives Assassin a disquieting authority.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Begins as a promising meditation on one of America's most durable obsessions but winds up as a slender cinematic stunt.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
As an exercise in stripped-down filmmaking, Interview is grimly effective.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
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.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
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?
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Comes off as a film-school stunt that never breathes the air outside its sealed-off universe.
Dallas Morning News
Gary Dowell
A savvy exploration of paranoia and insecurity in America's culture of fear.
Chicago Tribune
Patrick Z. McGavin
Consummate actor Barry has done excellent work here.
Newsday
John Anderson
While Interview With the Assassin has a nicely nuanced performance from the veteran character actor Barry, it also has tonal problems.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
This cinema verite speculation on the assassination of John F. Kennedy may have been inspired by Blair Witch, but it takes its techniques into such fresh territory that the film never feels derivative.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Few of the increasingly far-fetched events that first-time writer-director Neil Burger follows up with are terribly convincing, which is a pity, considering Barry's terrific performance.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The film's best trick is the way that it treats conspiracy as a kind of political Blair Witch, a monstrous murk that haunts us precisely because it can never be seen.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
Resourceful and ingenious entertainment.
Los Angeles Times
Manohla Dargis
Whether softening his military cadences with a touch of the South or shimmying down the outside wall of a motel, the veteran character actor [Barry] goes a long way toward padding what is a clever if fundamentally minor conceit.
Village Voice
Dennis Lim
Never quite transcends jokester status ... and the punchline doesn't live up to Barry's dead-eyed, perfectly chilled delivery.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The film has a difficult time shaking its Blair Witch Project real-time roots.
