JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass

JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass is a documentary by Oliver Stone that returns to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. Three decades after his 1991 drama JFK, Stone goes back over the case using material declassified in the years since, weighing what the newly available records say about the shooting and the investigations that followed. The film presents evidence and testimony rather than a fictionalized account, with Stone himself appearing on camera and narrators guiding viewers through the documents.

James DiEugenio wrote the screenplay, and Robert S. Wilson produced. The cast mixes archival narration with interviews: Whoopi Goldberg and Donald Sutherland lend their voices as narrators, while Robert F. Kennedy Jr., David Talbot and Cyril Wecht appear as themselves. Thirty-three people are credited in all, spread across the United Kingdom and the United States, with Ingenious Media, Altitude Film Entertainment, AGC Studios and Ixtlan Productions behind it.

The documentary runs 119 minutes and was released in November 2021. It sits between Snowden (2016) and Nuclear Now (2023) as the twentieth of the twenty-two features Stone has directed. On IMDb it holds a rating of 7.5 from around 4,800 votes, and on TMDB a rating of 7 from roughly 89 votes.
