Portman portrayed Jacqueline Kennedy in the biopic "Jackie" (2016), about Kennedy's life immediately after the 1963 assassination of her husband. She was initially intimidated to take on the part of a well-known public figure, and eventually researched Kennedy extensively by watching videos of her, reading books, and listening to audiotapes of her interviews. She also worked with a dialect coach to adapt Kennedy's unique speaking style. David Rooney of "The Hollywood Reporter" termed it an "incandescent performance" and added that "her Jackie is both inscrutable and naked, broken but unquestionably resilient, a mess and yet fiercely dignified". She won the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Actress and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. She also served as producer for the comedy horror film "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", directed by Burr Steers, and starred in Rebecca Zlotowski's French-Belgian drama "Planetarium". The 2017 experimental romance "Song to Song" marked Portman's second collaboration with Terrence Malick, which like their previous film polarized critics.
