Any doubts as to whether Sienna Miller is a gifted actress should be laid to rest by Interview.
By Owen Gleiberman FULL REVIEW
75
While the subject matter is certainly American enough, it seems possible the original had a bit more depth.
By Marc Mohan FULL REVIEW

The Interview is mannered, implausible, and stagy, but queasily compelling all the same.
By Nathan Rabin FULL REVIEW

Afforded a comparatively rare chance to stretch out in a complex lead role, Buscemi is excellent.
By Dennis Harvey FULL REVIEW

Whatever we may make of van Gogh's life and death, Buscemi's talky, stagey Interview -- the first of three van Gogh adaptations planned by American actor-directors -- doesn't make much of a case for him as an important or original artist.
By Andrew O'Hehir FULL REVIEW
50
Unfortunately, Buscemi's film conveys the spirit of its source material but doesn't make a satisfying transmogrification out of its homage.
By Desson Thomson FULL REVIEW
30
Buscemi and Miller do their best with what they have, finding at least some small redemption in two dislikable characters written into an improbable situation, but emotional honesty in the service of nonsense is still nonsense, no matter how many scabs it manages to pick at.
