This is a film without a political agenda that everyone should see."[18] In the Toronto Star, Peter Howell said: "The film's deeper intentions ... elevate it into the company of such landmark works of historical argument as Peter Watkins's The War Game, Costa-Gavras's Z and, closer to home, Michel Brault's Orders (Les Ordres). Every thinking person should see Death of a President." The film has been shown theatrically in more than 40 countries.
