Entertainment Weekly
Any doubts as to whether Sienna Miller is a gifted actress should be laid to rest by Interview. - 83
Christian Science Monitor
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. - 75
New York Daily News
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. - 75
New York Post
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. - 70
Variety
Afforded a comparatively rare chance to stretch out in a complex lead role, Buscemi is excellent. - 70
Los Angeles Times
For a film that unfolds mostly in a single location, Interview manages not to feel like a stage piece. But the premise, which may have worked in Holland, gets a little lost in the American translation. - 70
The New York Times
Vaporous and chilled to freezing, Interview lacks a single honest moment, but it does have plenty of diverting ones. - 60
Film Threat
To their credit, Miller and Buscemi engage the audience’s interest in what is essentially an extended conversation for an extraordinarily long time.
