Original view of Jackie.

Rating: 7/10 (30 January 2017)

This movie portrayed the assassination and its impact on Jackie in a way I had not imagined. This woman's personal pain was never explored like this. It has mistakes. It would have had more power it it had been a more linear narrative. You will be conscious of its mistakes while watching it but it is worth seeing. At times it is very moving. There is also more intelligence in the script than you are used to seeing. It will cause you to do some thinking. Critics were impressed by Portman's physical resemblance to Jackie. This was less apparent to me but at times she was excellent. This film is more sophisticated and thoughtful than almost all recent releases.
