I don't even know where to begin with this one. Oliver Stone usually makes me feel like he thinks he's soooooo much better and smarter and clever than me, the viewer. In JFK, though, he manages to push all of that bullshit aside and make a film that is so spellbinding that I can barely believe it.

The way this film was approached and executed is practically a marvel. A million cameos and stars that are actually given something to do; a mind-blowing yet not obnoxious editing job; a story too thrilling to ever be cooked up by any writer; Stone's signature nicely applied instead of harshly scribbled all over the place. An astonishing picture; I'll be returning to this over and over again.
