[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.

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

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!

Typical biography movie for the First Lady of USA. The background music definitely isn't right for this movie tho, little bit scary for some reason.
