Rating: 2/5 --
The monumental hand-wringing about Kennedy feels, the further we get away from the event, somehow inappropriate.

Financial Times
Rating: B --
The performances are powerful, the authenticity is admirable, and the tone remains objective in its depiction of events throughout.

The Film Stage
Rating: 3/5 --
What might have made a terrific television series is instead a mediocre - if historically interesting - film.

One Room With A View
The film finds its strength in the quintet of lesser known players, especially Zapruder and, oddly enough, Oswald's stoic brother, who's cast in a heroic, almost Kennedy-esque, light.

It's a heartfelt, modest and well staged film about the Kennedy assassination ...

Guardian
Kennedy specialists will glean nothing new, and those hoping for sobriety will flinch at the camera's intrusions.

Product Description:
The events surrounding President John F. Kennedy's assassination are explored from multiple perspectives in this historical drama based on Vincent Bugliosi's book FOUR DAYS IN NOVEMBER. The moment those shots echoed through the streets of Dallas on November 22, 1963, the entire city erupted into chaos. The leader of the free world was dead, and his security team was scrambling for clues. Film from an amateur had captured the tragedy in vivid detail, but the gunman had slipped through the FBI's grasp. Meanwhile, the doctors and nurses at Dallas' Parkland Hospital found themselves in the eye of the storm, and Vice President Lyndon Johnson was thrust into the role of Commander in Chief. In this film, we follow the events of that fateful day from the perspectives of the people who were there to witness one of the most disputed events in history firsthand. Zac Efron, Paul Giamatti, Billy Bob Thornton, Jacki Weaver, and Jeremy Strong star in a film featuring James Badge Dale, Jackie Earle Haley, Tom Hanks, and Ron Livingston.
