A massive wasted opportunity

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2018)

Overrated movie: Jackie (on Amazon Prime). Comparing Portman's tour of the White House to the real thing on YouTube, she's a truly incredible mimic - but not sure her acting skills are really demonstrated here.
I get that the semi-random flicking back and forth between present and past is a deliberate attempt to convey her mental state, but it still feels random.
Disappointing that we learn so little of the woman beyond her entirely understandable state in the immediate aftermath of the assassination. The blood-stained dress was really thrown in your face in scene after scene (we got it the first time, thanks). And the (fictitious) interview gimmick felt crude - telling when it could have been showing.
Finally, the photography was bland and uninteresting even when showing what should have been grand or moving scenes.
It's not a terrible movie, but it was a tremendous waste given what it could have been.
