pbs is nothing else, over all the years but consitent. under the disguise of such programs as frontline or the american experience you insist that... swald acted alone and that arlen spector and the warren commisions preposterous accusation of the magic bullet theory are the only plausible explanation for this fairy tale. and now, after all these years you trot out the now deceased norman mailer and the enormously rediculous, pseudo- intellectual, priscilla johnson mcmillian. unbelievable. nowhere in the hour and a half program did you mention that oswald had been interviewed for over eight hours by the dallas police and the fbi and to this day there is not a single word of this transscript to be found anywhere, that the official notes of the autopsy, done by dr. jj humes were burned and again no trace of his initial findings can be produced. and finally, that the warren commisions findings were so conclusive, this was a absolute slam-dunk, that the us government chose to NOT release 30% of it's findings until 75 years after the anniversary of the assaination. i don't know? maybe i'm all wet here.

In Oswald's Ghost, his vast chronicle of the JFK assassination and its cultural aftermath, Stone uses little-seen footage to assemble the events of Nov. 22, 1963, with a fascinating present-tense density.Full Review

Though we had just heard the name Lee Harvey Oswald, I believed he had done it alone. I still do, even more so after watching Robert Stone's meticulously researched, seemingly unbiased summary of the killing and the major conspiracy theories.Full Review

Oswald's Ghost impresses as a concise, intelligent and rigorously well-researched piece of work.Full Review

Variety
Late in the film, Stone interviews Norman Mailer, a one-time conspiracy-believer who eventually wrote a book that tried to get inside Oswald's head, explaining how Oswald's story is America's story. In less than a minute, Mailer describes the documentary Stone should've made.Full Review

Lee Harvey Oswald's guilt or innocence or accomplices are not the point of the film; Stone is more interested in the fact that much about the Kennedy murder is now so shrouded in myth and mystification as to be permanently unknowable, and that that fact alone has gnawed away at the self-confidence of middle-class white America ever since.Full Review
