A strong performance from Portman elevates a simple film

Rating: 5/10 (2 March 2017)

There have been lots of TV series and films about The Kennedy's and Jackie herself, but while this film doesn't cover any new ground it does feature a strong performance from Natalie Portman, who I often think of as an underrated actress, possibly because of her involvement in those 'Star Wars' prequels.
That isn't to say that this film is perfect. There are a few slow moments, and it's crying out for someone else to take the pressure off of Portman, but for the most part this is a good film that deserved the plaudits it gained upon release.
If there were more films like this, I'd go to the cinema more often.
