JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass is a 2021 American-British[1] documentary film about the assassination of John F. Kennedy directed by Oliver Stone, based on the 1992 non-fiction book Destiny Betrayed: JFK, Cuba, and the Garrison Case by James DiEugenio and on newly declassified evidence about the case.[2][3] It premiered on July 12, 2021, in the Cannes Premiere section at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.[4][3]

Stone described it as "an important bookend to my 1991 film. It ties up many loose threads, and hopefully repudiates much of the ignorance around the case and the movie".[2] Originally conceived as a four-hour epic under the title JFK: Destiny Betrayed,[5] the film is narrated by Whoopi Goldberg and Donald Sutherland.[6]

Synopsis

After the 1991 film JFK, Congress enacts the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, establishing a review board to declassify assassination-related documents. The film disputes the chain of evidence for the "single bullet" that caused wounds to Kennedy and Governor John Connally. Researcher Barry Ernest, author of the 2010 JFK book The Girl on the Stairs, is interviewed about alleged witness statements purportedly casting doubt on the timeline of Lee Harvey Oswald's movements immediately after the assassination.[7]

Interviewees featured in the film include:

Production

Release

It was released on video on demand on November 12, 2021, and was televised on Showtime on November 22, 2021.[10] It was theatrically released in the U.K. and Ireland by Altitude Film Distribution on November 26, 2021.[9]

Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 63% of 27 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.1/10. The website's consensus reads: "Although it's frustratingly casual with the line between facts and conjecture, JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass reaffirms Oliver Stone's gifts as an engaging raconteur."[11] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 55 out of 100, based on 7 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[12]
