[A] visually-stunning and emotionally-moving film... [but] The people of color in this film were used as background and not one had a speaking role. Go to Full Review

If Jackie has a conceptual emblem, this is it: messy reality splattering all over a carefully maintained façade. Go to Full Review
K. Austin Collins The Ringer 08/10/2017
Pablo Larraín's disappointing Jacqueline Kennedy biopic tries but ultimately fails to reconcile the person with the persona. Go to Full Review

A-
Larraín employs a good deal of dramatic license in order to tell his story in order to paint one of the most unknown of widely known figures of the 20th Century in a complex and fascinating light. Go to Full Review
Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 09/04/2023
5/5
The equal measures of pain and composure in Portman's understated eyes and expressions speak volumes. She exudes all of the grace and poise one would expect of the icon that has become Jackie Kennedy. Go to Full Review
Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh 05/12/2023
4/5
A chilling reminder that for every act of violence, no matter who is the victim, no matter what their walk of life, acts of brutality leave a lasting wake that reverberates for years. Go to Full Review

Aug 15 Another movie Natalie shines in. The tone, the acting and the way the movie is filmed is just pure perfection! This can be one of the greatest films of the 21st century very easily. Highly recommend! See more Cortny C Apr 8 What bothers me is the way she is talking. Jackie O didn't talk like that. And she seems through the film like she's lost or something I'm not sure but I couldn't stand the way she sounds or how she's talkin why??? See more donnie m Feb 14 i was in 4th grade when this happened and we were sent home from school and all the adults were crying and we didn't really understand what a big deal this was. i am trying to watch this now and about half way through but the voice of jackie is SO irritating (more like immitating marilyn monroe) i don't think jackie talked like that and the background music is beyond depressing-it's also boring! See more Helena K Dec 9 Alow but I liked Natalie. Kind of weird visuals. See more James B 02/06/2024 could not get into the film too slow could not finish it good acting way too slow paced See more Jeff M 01/22/2024 Extraordinary, unconventional look at Camelot's last days. Natalie Portman is perfect, amazing musical score, some unforgettable images. See more Read all reviews
