Holy shit, this was so good. Allow me to reference critic reviews:
Noel Murray and Scott Tobias of The A.V.

In 2023, Time selected Blow Out as part of their list 100 Best Movies of the Past 10 Decades, praising it as "a film filled with mistrust, one where the ghosts of Chappaquiddick and the Zapruder film lurk in the corners."
