Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Oliver's Stone's "JFK" builds up an overwhelming head of urgency that all comes rushing out at the end of the film, in a tumbling, angry, almost piteous monologue - the whole obsessive ...read the complete JFK movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

It's useful to read awful reviews written by mediocre hacks such as Peter Travers once in a while. It reminds me how good Roger Ebert really is. The statement "JFK is as much a documentary as Hook" really says it all. ...read the complete JFK movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

As speculation, JFK is riveting. As proof, it's bunk. Stone has turned what he considers the crime of the century into a disturbing anomaly -- a dishonest search for truth. ...read the complete JFK movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Washington Post (Rita Kempley)

Whether you buy it or not, Oliver Stone's "JFK" makes compelling info-ganda. Part whodunit, part documentary, part soapbox diatribe, the controversial agit-pic owes as much to the brash style of tabloid television as it does the populist mythology of...read the complete JFK (1991) review at Washington Post (Rita Kempley)

Variety (--)

Costner may not resemble the real Garrison much ... but the actor, in a low-key but forceful performance, nicely conveys the requisite grit, curiosity and fearlessness....read the complete JFK (1991) review at Variety (--)
