Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: The results may not seem to be taking place on planet Earth among verifiable humans, but, taken in the spirit of gladiatorial battle, the film is often fascinating. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: Despite a few interesting twists and ambiguities, the main revelation -- that the reporter is an insufferable snob -- doesn't seem worth the 84 minutes devoted to spelling it out. Read more
Joanne Kaufman, Wall Street Journal: Pierre is such a weasel, Katya is such a narcissist and the outcome seems so pre-determined, it's hard to care whose belt gets the notch. The adroit performances of Buscemi and Miller almost make it matter. Read more
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: This veneer of pseudo-adult psychological realism doesn't stop the film from being trashy, awkward and implausible, something like a stage play that might have seemed challenging in 1976. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Interview slyly keeps you watching, wondering who will emerge from this long night's journey. Read more
Nathan Rabin, AV Club: Interview is mannered, implausible, and stagy, but queasily compelling all the same. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Ultimately, pointless. One comes away from Interview exhausted. Read more
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: Premise of the Dutch film's remake seems less believable here, but the acting is compelling and believable. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: I'll just say that Buscemi, who also directed and co-wrote, knows a lot about making movies but little about journalism. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: The back-and-forth between the performers is tensely choreographed, and Buscemi does a good job opening up the action, which mostly takes place in a Manhattan loft. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: This movie keeps falling out of rhythm just when it should be picking up pace. It's a fitful piece of wrong beginnings and false ends. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Any doubts as to whether Sienna Miller is a gifted actress should be laid to rest by Interview. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Interview feels more like a lab experiment/tribute than a committed, personal drama, leaving us with the sense that Buscemi wanted to feel more connected to this material than he actually did. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Buscemi's Interview moves forward in static bursts that are contained by the avid, yet unobtrusive direction and the intensity of the two principals. Read more
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture: I've sat through so many claustrophobic examples of the genre I forgot how exhilarating, how pure a great one could be. Interview is a great one -- electric as theater and cinema. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: Buscemi creates an intriguing, if contrived, drama about the battle of the sexes. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Buscemi can play a hangdog cynic better than anyone, and Miller seizes her opportunity to express every emotion an actress can be asked to express. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: Miller is so good -- dumb, smart, wounded, wounding, a lollipop of sweet poison that you'd buy every day until it killed you -- that you feel you not only understand her but all actresses. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Mr. Buscemi and Ms. Miller prove that they are fully up to the task of carrying a whole movie on their shoulders without any help from the other characters. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: A mixed bag of realism and arch, dramatic exaggeration. Read more
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: An eminently watchable contest between two actors at the top of their games. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Interview has its moments but they can't prevent it from feeling a little long winded and unsatisfying. The premise makes it sound more interesting than the in-theater experience delivers. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Kind of fascinating, especially in the ways that Buscemi and Miller make their performances into commentaries on the types of characters they play. When actors are really turned loose to play actors, they can achieve merciless accuracy. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: 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 more
Kamal Al-Solaylee, Globe and Mail: The end result of this showcase for Buscemi's writing, acting and directing chops is so uneven and mixed in small details and overall tone that it's anybody's guess if it's one for the Oscars or the Razzies next year. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: The most impressive thing about Interview is how much shock it manages to muster over the walloping nonrevelation that, now more than ever, hype begets headlines. Next up: the rich are getting richer! Read more
David Fear, Time Out: Interview doesn't say anything new regarding our obsession with celebrity or, to paraphrase Janet Malcolm, the moral indefensibility of journalism. But the way [Buscemi and Miller] psychologically thrust and parry more than carries the film. Read more
Trevor Johnston, Time Out: Ultimately, this two-hander feels limited in scale, but frisky and diverting while it's on. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: Director Steve Buscemi is not to be faulted for his filmmaking or acting skills, but as co-writer he could have done better than the false-sounding dialogue. Read more
Dennis Harvey, Variety: Steve Buscemi's adaptation preserves the original's biting basic scenario while adding a few Americanizing tweaks to this tale. Read more
Jim Ridley, Village Voice: The least concrete and most artificial of Buscemi's films. But that's as much because of the situation as Buscemi and David Schechter's slippery script. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Buscemi's film conveys the spirit of its source material but doesn't make a satisfying transmogrification out of its homage. Read more
