Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Dominic LeRose Jackie Kennedy, while an interesting historical figure, isn't a very cinematic one. "Jackie" is done visually in a very dark, quiet style that is pleasant to view, but the film lacks virtually any content that's interesting or relevant. Hell, there isn't really even a story to this film, but rather just events in Jackie Kennedy's life. How she deals with the assassination of her husband is the pivotal focus, but not even Natalie Portman's spot-on portrayal helps the film. This film seems like it was just sort of made for the sake of being made, crossing off another historical figure to make a movie about and get another famous actress an Oscar or nomination.

daoldiges I was curious to see this film as I love history and do find the Kennedy story interesting. This film was in many respects interest - mostly because it surprised me and did not give me what I was expecting. The time-frame is very brief, just the week or so following the assassination. Jackie was portrayed as a rather vain, course, and defensive person who smokes and drinks a lot, all of which could be due to the recent circumstances in her life. Portman's performance was also interesting in that she didn't treat the role with awe and gave it to us straight, which I appreciate. I actually really enjoyed the score quite a bit, but didn't think it was a great match for this specific project. Like I said, it was interesting but as a whole a little disappointing. This is the part in a film review of this type where I would usually mention that only if you're a big Jackie fan should you take the time to see this film. However, I will change that to read that if you're a real Jackie fan you probably shouldn't see this film because it does not portray her in the elevated, glamorous light so many want to think of her in, and you will likely be disappointed. Please don't hold your imaginary, fantasy ideas of what you want this person to be against this film and it's participants.

tags1 That was an hour and and forty minutes of my life I can't get back. So slow and boring, I had hoped it would have been about more than the week after the assassination.

lanckenj This movie is disappointing in the storyline and acting. The portrayal of Jackie is manic, self consumed and well a little unhinged. I found delivery of her a little monosysIlabic from Natalie Portman. I had to stop watching as it was annoying me. If this is a trueportrayal of the first lady married to JFK I have ended up no admirer of her.
