Wonderfully constructed

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 2017)

Jackie (2016) tells the story of Jacquelyn Kennedy and how she copes with the tragic loss of her husband, President John F Kennedy. Natalie Portman plays Jacquelyn, and she does a wonderful job portraying this historical woman and showing her trying her best to cope with the pain and grief of her husbands assassination. Peter Sarsagard plays bobby, JFK's brother, I think he did a good job at portraying him as accurately as possible. Suffice to say that the acting is wonderful all around by every single member of the cast in this film. I loved the writing too, the dialogue all throughout, especially by Portman, is all so well written and well delivered by the actors. The script focuses completely on Jackie and those around her reacting and attempting to deal with the presidents sudden and shocking death. The movie actually does show JFK's shooting (WARNING, which is kind of graphic), but it needed to be graphic in order to be completely authentic. You don't have to be interested in American history or politics to enjoy this very well made film. Anyone and everyone can and will enjoy this great movie. I encourage all to view it at least once, it's definitely worth it! 9/10 for Jackie.
