[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.

If Jackie has a conceptual emblem, this is it: messy reality splattering all over a carefully maintained façade.

InSession Film

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.

Rated: A-

Every Movie Has a Lesson

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.

Rated: 5/5

The Wolfman Cometh

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.

Rated: 4/5

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???

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

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!
