Natalie Portman gave a stunning performance of the late first lady and her diction was up to the Jacqueline Kennedy standards.
The film revolves around an interview she gave with a reporter a week after the assassination. At the beginning of the interview, Jackie appears condescending and actually giving the reality that she was royalty.
Wanting a funeral similar to that of Abe Lincoln, she changes her mind once killer Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered but quickly relents.
While it is true that Kennedy loved the play Camelot, his life was much more than this fantasy. There were unfulfilled dreams and actions to take, especially in the field of civil rights.
Jackie comes across as a chain-smoking lady and by the way, I didn't know that Robert Kennedy puffed away as well.
The film is an interesting one where she has to come to grips with her husband's death so as to lead her children. Her confessions of wanting to be dead were quite shocking which she revealed to the priest.
