We aren't most people.

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2017)

The film opens with reporter Theodore H. White (Billy Crudup) interviewing the chain smoking Jackie Kennedy (Natalie Portman) following the days of the assassination. Her life is told as a flashback, although it only covers a few moments: The White House Tour, The funeral arrangements, and the assassination itself...which was graphic and bloody.
I found the film being uneven, opening poorly with a bad screeching violin soundtrack. There were scenes I loved such as anything to do with Camelot. Peter Sarsgaard as Bobby Kennedy was a total miscast as were most of the historical figures. We see a grieving Jackie who was still concerned with grace, style, and appearances, making sure everything was in its proper place for history.
Emotional: Yes. Good film: Yes. Academy Award material: No.
Guide: 2 F-words. No sex or nudity.
