Rating: 4/5 --
As an absurdist take on conspiracy thrillers, it's close to brilliant -- assuming you get the joke, which audiences don't seem to have in 1979.

A wonderfully intricate and intelligent thriller.

Rating: 4/5 --
Winter Kills" isn't exactly a comedy, but it's funny. And it isn't exactly serious, but it takes on the serious business of the Kennedy assassination.
New York Times
The film is funny, but it's frightening and vertiginous, too -- a complex tone that apparently left audiences baffled.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 3/4 --
The satiric edge qualifies the film as a sick joke, which helps explain why the studio was reluctant to support it and why the public was reluctant to watch it. But it is audacious, and it's easy to see why it has developed a modest cult following.

Rating: 4/5 --
A real cult classic, this reimagining of the Kennedy assassination asks what might have gone down in an alternate and very similar universe.

...It's an elaborate, even phantasmagoric charade...
