the story can't keep the viewers attention for long

Rating: 5/10 (26 May 2019)

When I saw the trailer of this movie, my first thought was that it probably wouldn't be interesting because the main focus is only on Jackie's point of view after her husband's death. And I think I was right. As I expected, the movie is not something captivating. There's no action, tension or drama. Natalie is great, but even her great acting can't make the movie enough interesting to keep the viewer's attention for a long time. It's also quite monotone. On the other hand, it seemed like it was put a lot of work to make the movie the best it can be. I think the mistake they made is that they only focused on her point of view about Kennedy's death. I mean, a little documentary that is about 30 minutes is enough to tell her story about her husband being murdered. But this movie is about her and they could have shown more aspects of her life and more about her work. Something that's not just connected to the White House. I see the movie much better if they included more about her as a person, an individual, maybe this way people could see her not only as the wife's president but like a talented and intelligent human being that had creative mind and showed people more than they had expected.
