I didn't like this as much as I expected to

Rating: 5/10 (30 December 2019)

This is the biopic of Jackie Kennedy, covering the hours and days after JFK's assassination.
For whatever reason, where others saw complex emotional performances, I thought they were much more on one note.
I thought that there was too much exposition of how the central character was feeling through slightly clunky dialogue with the priest and the journalist.
The soundtrack has been roundly praised, but it didn't do much for me: again, it seemed a bit like it had to reinforce the emotions throughout, and none-too-subtly, which again didn't help to give the film an air of a complex emotional state.
I think what I'm saying is that I would have preferred this movie to rely more on close lingering emotional performances from the central characters, and less on "this is what I thinking" expositional dialogue and music.
But others clearly feel very differently about this music and rave about the emotive performances, so maybe I was just having a bad day.
