3 stars out of 5 -- [T]here is no denying how absorbing the tumultuous events of those four days remain.
Empire
Rating: 2/5 --
Parkland is little more than the audible whimper of a people ruminating over a great tragedy.

CineVue
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.

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

New Yorker
Rating: 5/5 --
The acting, by stars such as Zac Efron, Paul Giamatti, Billy Bob Thornton and James Badge Dale, is low-key and magnificent.

The Mail on Sunday (UK)
Rating: 4/5 --
A ( ... ) pragmatic, four-day, fly-on-the-wall view of Dallas when the 20th Century's most documented death arguably facilitated the birth of 24-hour rolling news, citizen journalism and You Tube.

The performances are powerful, the authenticity is admirable, and the tone remains objective in its depiction of events throughout.

The Film Stage
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.
