The Killing of John Lennon Ratings & Reviews
Spin
Troy Patterson
What Killing lacks in celebrity sparkle, it compensates for in raw ambition and rude chills.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A well-researched docudrama on the twisted mind of the 25-year-old Mark David Chapman, the nobody who killed John Lennon.
Film Threat
Matthew Sorrento
As the narrative lugubriously sticks to the documented events, we are served nothing more than a filmed transcript.
Seattle Times
Mark Rahner
It's well-constructed and acted, but mainly just left me feeling like I needed a shower after an exercise in voyeurism surrounding an event that's still hard to watch.
Los Angeles Times
Sam Adams
Gets inside Chapman's head but never under his skin.
Film Journal International
Eric Monder
Despite its vivid and imaginative style, The Killing of John Lennon is tough slogging for its nearly two-hour running time.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Even if you can forgive [director] Piddington's mangling of the basics, you will find it hard to overlook his frantic use of slo-mo, a wobbly camera, freeze frames, double exposures and a close-up of a single eye.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Though the psychic space Piddington and Ball create is certainly a terrifyingly claustrophobic place to be, it's also stultifying and banal in the way other people's crazed obsessions become after a very short while.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
The only revelations in The Killing of John Lennon are those we could have picked up ourselves, assuming we cared enough to do so.
ComingSoon.net
Edward Douglas
Only slightly better than Chapter 27, it's questionable whether even the most morbidly curious John Lennon fan might have any interest in sitting through nearly two hours of this creepy lunatic.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
Who is the audience here, besides depraved Beatles completists?
New York Press
Eric Kohn
Unlike Chapman, The Killing of John Lennon is no phony.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Piddington does a beautiful balancing act, creating a movie that works both on the level of suspense and as a detailed factual chronicle.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Andrew Piddington's devastating re-enactment of events leading up to, including and immediately after the murder is taken from interviews, depositions and court transcripts.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Piddington never dares to diagnose Chapman's rage, settling for Wikipedia-style objectivity dressed in the more fatuous-than-provocative manner of Robinson Devor's Zoo.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
A stunning performance by newcomer Jonas Ball in the role of Mark David Chapman, the killer of John Lennon.
Boxoffice Magazine
Richard Mowe
A pertinent exploration of the relationship between celebrities and their fans in a fame-obsessed world.
