Good performances from both actors and nicely directed by Buscemi but for all its theatrics, its let down by a predictable and unimpressive 'Twist' ending. Worth watching for the script alone!
David Schecter, Jackson Loo, Molly Griffith
After falling out with his editor, a fading political journalist (Buscemi) is forced to interview America's most popular soap actress (Miller).

If you watch the trailer for Interview you may be left with the impression that you're about to watch a throwaway episode of Iconoclasts. But if and when you actually watch the movie you're going to be in for something different. Crap, pretty much. Interview started off alright ...( read more)

Strange, intense, funny at times. I really liked Sienna Miller in this film....great performance and one manipulative chick. Steve Buscemi got what he deserved at the end of the film...hilarious. It kept me interested even though it was just them having different conversations...( read more)

Interview is a recent film directed by and starring consistently brilliant actor Steve Buscemi. In fact, it is a remake of a 2003 film of the same name by deceased Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh. Buscemi stars as Pierre, a political journalist who is forced to do a interview with ...( read more)

Sienna Miller is certainly trying hard to prove herself as a serious actress - and she's good in this. And Buscemi (also writing and directing) is his usual brilliant self. Sadly, the two characters are not interesting or likeable enough to hold the film for it's short 80 minute ...( read more)

Though simple in its construction, there are plenty of details hidden throughout this fun little film. With only two characters, one setting, and no-frills production values, the tone is indeed experimental, yet the narrative is strong throughout, and the action plays out almost ...( read more)

Steve Buscemi and Sienna Miller are fantastic in this picture. I want so badly for it to be a play so that I may see two intense actors tackle the issues this movie covers so well. The dialogue is extremely well crafted and executed. After a while, the viewer forgets that nearly ...( read more)

Critic Reviews
Interview slyly keeps you watching, wondering who will emerge from this long night's journey. full review
The dialogue cuts like a knife, and the two lead performances, by Steve Buscemi and Sienna Miller, have an electrifying emotional focus -- neither actor has ever been more mesmerizing. full review
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 ... full review
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, ... full review
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. full review
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. full review
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. full review
You won't be able to take your eyes off the screen as this terrific psychological game of cat and mouse unfolds. The incredibly sexy Sienna Miller burns up the screen with raw, sensual star power. She... full review
