Any doubts as to whether Sienna Miller is a gifted actress should be laid to rest by Interview.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

I found Interview kind of fascinating, especially in the ways that Buscemi and Miller make their performances into commentaries on the types of characters they play.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalleAdd Critic to Favorites

Despite the fact that both protagonists are equally appalling, the screenplay seems to have a soft spot for the woman. However, this doesn't take away from the fun of watching the two characters tear each other to pieces.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Nathan RabinAdd Critic to Favorites

The Interview is mannered, implausible, and stagy, but queasily compelling all the same.Read the full review

Variety | Dennis HarveyAdd Critic to Favorites

Afforded a comparatively rare chance to stretch out in a complex lead role, Buscemi is excellent.Read the full review

The New York Times | Manohla DargisAdd Critic to Favorites

Vaporous and chilled to freezing, Interview lacks a single honest moment, but it does have plenty of diverting ones.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Ty BurrAdd Critic to Favorites

One comes away from Interview exhausted and a little unclean, entertained by the acting equivalent of a pit bull fight but needing a hose-down. The movie confirms that in every relationship "there are winners and losers." True enough, but for the audience this one's a draw.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

Interview has its moments but they can't prevent it from feeling a little long winded and unsatisfying.Read the full review
