You Don't Know Jack Ratings & Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Ellen Gray
After spending more than two increasingly dispiriting hours with Pacino's raspy eccentric, I still didn't know a lot more about Kevorkian than I had going in.
Boston Herald
Mark A. Perigard
By the end of the film, viewers still may not be sure what makes Jack tick. But you'll have a better sense of Al, one of the premier actors of our time.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Scott D. Pierce
A biography of "Dr. Death" may seem like an odd choice for a TV movie, but this is a very good, thought-provoking film. And Pacino and the rest of the cast are great.
People Magazine
Tom Gliatto
A vein of messianic righteousness can be detected below the surface, but mostly this Kevorkian is delightful-which doesn't seem quite right. It's an ingenious performance, though.
Tampa Bay Times
Eric Deggans
Even as stars Al Pacino, Susan Sarandon and Brenda Vaccaro dim their wattage with clumsy Michigan accents, bad wigs and dowdy clothes, a compelling story about Kevorkian's advocacy for euthanasia emerges.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Rob Owen
Viewers may not know Jack at the beginning of the film, but they have a somewhat better sense of this enigmatic character by the end.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
There are many, many haunting scenes in HBO's docudrama You Don't Know Jack.
Variety
Brian Lowry
Kevorkian boasts that he can "go weeks without food, like Gandhi." Pacino, by contrast, clearly recognizes the big, juicy meal laid out in front of him by this peculiar character, and it's a pleasure watching him greedily consume it.
Newark Star-Ledger
Alan Sepinwall
Pacino spends most of the two-plus hours of "Jack" being a distraction in his own movie.
Entertainment Weekly
Ken Tucker
The result is a pro-euthanasia argument told as a lovable-old-coot story. It's probably the best way to sell such a grim tale.
AV Club
Leonard Pierce
Losing himself entirely in the role, Pacino is outstanding as Jack Kevorkian, stoop-shouldered and self-confident but with an air of permanent sadness.
Newsweek
Newsweek Staff
Displaying its own media savvy, Jack is sympathetic to Kevorkian but not polemical.
RogerEbert.com
Roger Ebert
Pacino and Levinson seem to have made a deliberate decision to keep Jack's rough edges. There is no attempt to make him heroic; we have to come to any such decision on our own.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Ultimately, there's little wrong with You Don't Know Jack and the performances alone make it worth seeing, but it's a good film that never quite rises to great.
TIME Magazine
James Poniewozik
You Don't Know Jack may be a film about the case for making dying patients comfortable. But admirably, it recognizes that thinking about this, or watching, should be discomfiting.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Levinson has a deft touch with ordinary people and places, and the film's early scenes, especially, take care of business in a satisfying, sideways fashion, developing character with exposition and finding every avenue for real-world humor.
The Hollywood Reporter
Randee Dawn
We're like Sarandon's Janet Good, begging from our deathbeds for Jack to tell us something about himself and arriving at the end of things without any greater understanding than we had at the start.
New York Times
Alessandra Stanley
You Don't Know Jack is a compelling, at times thrilling, tale that can absorb even those with little interest or feeling for the subject. This is one of the saddest, dreariest subjects imaginable, but You Don't Know Jack is anything but.
At the Movies
Michael Phillips
This is Levinson's best work since Wag the Dog
At the Movies
A.O. Scott
You Don't Know Jack might make you uncomfortable, and it probably won't change your mind on the issue of euthanasia, but you should by all means see it.
