Had Landesman spent a bit more time on his characters and narrative, he might have made a more watchable movie.

Ultimately Parkland is not thought-provoking, inspiring or even brave enough to be offensive, but it does raise some interesting scenarios and is full of some very solid acting.

Parkland is a movie of simple motives. It doesn't waste time with pomp or theory, and the material is acted by those who connect with the characters like reflections in the mirror.

The performances are powerful, the authenticity is admirable, and the tone remains objective in its depiction of events throughout.

October 04, 2013
Takes one of the most traumatizing events of the American 20th century and turns it into a trivia digest.

Kennedy specialists will glean nothing new, and those hoping for sobriety will flinch at the camera's intrusions.

"Parkland" expends lots of energy and expertise on re-creating these infamous events, yet it is so lacking in narrative purpose that many viewers are likely to leave muttering, "Okay...but so what?"

Parkland is history as existential despair.
October 04, 2013
Somehow, all this commotion adds up to aimless inertia, in part because the movie lacks a point of view - let alone anything fresh to propose about the assassination or its peripheral players.

This episodic drama is set in Dallas during the three days after the JFK assassination, and some of it is highly charged.
