Victor O Dec 14 I’m a huge history buffand there is nothing more momentous in history than the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. I wondered how this story dealt with itand as it turns outwhile other movies lean on the mystery of the assassinationthis deals with the ordinary men and women who made history by being its witnesses to it in the days beforeduringand afterwards. This was an exemplary filmdespite all the years that have gone byI don’t think there has been a movie that captured the JFK assassination with better class than this. Others have long exploited itthe worst being Oliver Stone’s disgraceful conspiracy filmbut thisthough subtlebrilliantly depicts it justice. No doubt this was meant for Oscar baitbut it was worth it. A great drama depicting history done rightwith plenty of great actors and storytelling. See more Andrew H @PMAndrew Dec 10 I thought the movie was great. It didn't push any sort of narrativesit was just a reenactment of the events that weekendwith a bit of the focus on the hospital as opposed to the focus being on Leeor Daly Plazaor JFK's lifewhich is were I feel a lot of people get lost. What I appreciated about this movieis how it showed the strain on the Oswald family. Regardless of what you think happenedwho you think did itetcyou have to understand his wifekidsand brother didn't deserve to go through being outcasted because of it. So that final scene really made this good movie become a great movie. See more Lance U @AquaQuick66 Apr 16 It might be an entertaining filmif it were not so full of BS. So full of BS is this movie in fact that there is a book written about it titled 'Reclaiming Parkland: Tom HanksVincent BugliosiAnd The JFK Assassination In The New Hollywood' by James DiEugenioand I totally 100% recommend it! 'Parkland' movie gets an Fand the Parkland book gets an A-.

(B+) See more Thomas C 06/16/2024 Having a vivid memory of the events of that weekend… And an interest in the details of the rapidfire events… I found it to be a well done and completely engaging movie. See more David H 02/26/2024 Apparently niether the critics nor the common audience are intelligent enough to appreciate this movie. It's an excellent rendition of the facts.
