David Edelstein · New York Magazine (Vulture) 90.00/100.00

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.

Nathan Rabin · The A.V. Club 75.00/100.00

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

Marc Mohan · Portland Oregonian 75.00/100.00

While the subject matter is certainly American enough, it seems possible the original had a bit more depth.

Owen Gleiberman · Entertainment Weekly 91.00/100.00

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

Kyle Smith · New York Post 75.00/100.00

Some bits are too stagy, but for the most part this long night feels like an interview that could have actually happened. 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.

Michael Phillips · Chicago Tribune 75.00/100.00

The film's emotional claustrophobia may not be for everyone.

Jack Mathews · New York Daily News 75.00/100.00

The first of three planned remakes of Dutch films by the late Theo van Gogh, Steve Buscemi's Interview takes the most unnatural act in human intercourse - the celebrity interview - and makes an explosively funny two-character psychodrama out of it.

Mick LaSalle · San Francisco Chronicle 75.00/100.00

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.

Peter Rainer · Christian Science Monitor 83.00/100.00

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.
