Complex character

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2016)

Wow. Great performance, nuanced, subtle, deep, Ms. Portman gets under the skin, allowing the audience to observe the complicated life and emotions of this iconic woman. our collective memory of that awful week fills in the big picture as we see the intimate details of how decisions re: that funeral were made. Her fragile control of emotions is explored, we see how this intensely private person learned to be a public person. How a smart, educated woman dealt with the frustrating and demeaning underlying culture of sexism. How strong yet vulnerable she was. Camelot, indeed. I wished the film covered her early years and later years with Onassis. Still fascinated by this person and the enigma of her personality.
