Variety Staff, Variety
Huston gives a powerhouse performance, and Bridges, always likeable, runs through his repertoire of facial expressions and grimaces, but it's a lost cause.

Janet Maslin, New York Times
Winter Kills" isn't exactly a comedy, but it's funny. And it isn't exactly serious, but it takes on the serious business of the Kennedy assassination.

Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
The film is funny, but it's frightening and vertiginous, too -- a complex tone that apparently left audiences baffled.

, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Though it garnered little attention in theaters, it has become a cult favorite on video.

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
As an absurdist take on conspiracy thrillers, it's close to brilliant -- assuming you get the joke, which audiences don't seem to have in 1979.
