Winter Kills Reviews
Atlantic City Weekly
Lori Hoffman
Bizarre, fascinating political assassination satire with superb cast
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
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.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
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.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
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.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
A real cult classic, this reimagining of the Kennedy assassination asks what might have gone down in an alternate and very similar universe.
Variety
Variety Staff
Huston gives a powerhouse performance, and Bridges, always likeable, runs through his repertoire of facial expressions and grimaces, but it's a lost cause.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The film is funny, but it's frightening and vertiginous, too -- a complex tone that apparently left audiences baffled.
Stream on Demand
Sean Axmaker
... the maddest and most entertaining of Kennedy conspiracy thrillers, a wild kaleidoscope of clashing theories directed with wit and performed with gusto by an astounding cast.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Winter Kills boasts some exceptional acting by John Huston and Anthony Perkins and Dorothy Malone.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
The gossip around this movie is its own legend.
Slant Magazine
Brad Hanford
The history of Winter Kills is nearly as lurid and tangled as the conspiracy it depicts.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
"Winter Kills" is, above all, an exercise in tone-a crazed, hectic tone that instantly suggests a world irreparably out of whack. What lends the movie substance is the cinematic style that Richert crafts from its dramatic premise.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
It seems to have grown even bolder with age in its willingness to take on sacred cows in the craziest manner imaginable.
National Review
Armond White
Winter Kills caps Hollywood's convention of political paranoia without Richert ever succumbing to nihilism. There is no disillusionment in filmmaking this vibrant.
Film Threat
Jason Delgado
Cult classic status, not quite, but an oddity that definitely deserves to be seen.
Newcity
Ray Pride
Richert's deliciously berserk [movie] almost never saw the light of day before its patchy completion and release in 1979; it's pungent satire, a Kennedy-conspiracy thriller... that must, as has been said, be seen to be disbelieved,
TV Guide
Though it garnered little attention in theaters, it has become a cult favorite on video.
