Strange performance by Portman

Rating: 6/10 (19 June 2017)

Okay so I've never been her biggest fan, but I wasn't sure whether Portman's portrayal of Jackie (basically as weird and creepy and not very sympathetic) was accurate, was she really like that? I think this is the problem for many with this film, which is otherwise quite evocative of those tragic years 1961-63, though it doesn't delve too deeply into their politics. Some other slightly odd casting (Richard E. Grant as White House chief of staff?) but not terrible.
