Interview with the Assassin Reviews
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.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
As an exercise in stripped-down filmmaking, Interview is grimly effective.
Miami Herald
Marta Barber
There are no big-name actors and no fancy camera work. But that's what makes it interesting.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
This film offers a compelling scenario of what could have happened.
Newsday
John Anderson
While Interview With the Assassin has a nicely nuanced performance from the veteran character actor Barry, it also has tonal problems.
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.
Chicago Tribune
Patrick Z. McGavin
Consummate actor Barry has done excellent work here.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
Resourceful and ingenious entertainment.
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.
Dallas Morning News
Gary Dowell
A savvy exploration of paranoia and insecurity in America's culture of fear.
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.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The film has a difficult time shaking its Blair Witch Project real-time roots.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Village Voice
Dennis Lim
Never quite transcends jokester status ... and the punchline doesn't live up to Barry's dead-eyed, perfectly chilled delivery.
