YAWN...Another reason I should NOT watch "Oscar" nominated movies!

Rating: 3/10 (17 April 2017)

A few years ago I vowed to boycott all "Oscar" nominated movies after Birdman won best picture. Birdman was complete piece of crap and I had lost all respect for the Academy Awards. I should have remembered that before I started watching this movie. Jackie is not as bad as Birdman but it was flirting with it. I thought to myself, before sitting down to watch this movie, that Natalie Portman would carry this movie and I would love it. YAWN...This movie is boring, slow and left me wondering what the point was. I get it...Jackie Kennedy was in mourning about JFK's death and wants the world to grieve with her but seems to have problem with the notion that "life goes on" for the rest of the world. In the movie Jackie gives an interview and is a control freak and demands to edit the what an interviewer will publish. Don't get fooled by the R rating of this movie. It has a few "F" words and semi-graphic head shot of JFK at the end but that is it. If you are waiting for some type of amazing re-enactment of JFK's death or anything that happened in Dallas back in 1963, you won't get it. This movie had so much potential but it flops and leaves the viewer with a sense of "What the hell did I just watch?" This movie was so slow that and I couldn't wait for it to end.
Lesson learned, AGAIN! No more Acamdemy Award crap!
