	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Sobczynski rogerebert.com	"No matter how many times I have seen it, I remain consistently knocked out by its wit, courage, and audacity (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Richard Brody The New Yorker	"What lends the movie substance is the cinematic style that Richert crafts from its dramatic premise"
		Brad Hanford Slant	"The history of 'Winter Kills' is nearly as lurid and tangled as the conspiracy it depicts"
