Boring movie, it dragged on forever with no story line.

Rating: 4/10 (8 January 2017)

I know a lot about the assassination and the Kennedys. It's a topic that interests me. This movie is so boring and pointless, I couldn't wait for it to end. There is no story, no plot, no intrigue, no new info, nothing to keep you interested. It's scene after one-dimensional scene depicting various pre and post assassination snapshots. Well-done snapshots but it gets old quick. Natalie Portman is excellent. But it's not enough to save this movie. It's as though the whole movie is just a platform to show off Portman's acting skills. Still, whether it's Portman's fault or another's, Jackie comes off as too cold and haughty and uncomfortable. Tense and stone-faced. You don't get a sense of her personality. All the other characters are way underdeveloped and seem to exist only so there is someone else in the scene for Portman to talk to. What is very well-done is the recreation of familiar historical scenes, clothing, famous iconic film clips and photos. A big exception is Hyannis Port. The summer home in the movie looks absolutely nothing like the real Hyannis Port Kennedy homes. I don't recommend the movie but give it a few stars because of the historical reproduction and Portman's acting.
