One of the year's best films


Natalie Portman plays Jacqueline Kennedy and delivers, without question, the best performance of her career. Adopting Mrs. Kennedy’s breathy voice and socialite accent, Ms. Portman dissolves into the role. She occupies almost every frame of Larraín’s film, and we are captivated every step of the way. Jackie is not a biopic, but rather a glimpse into a few terrible days in Jackie Kennedy’s life; days filled with many questions and few answers; days where she washes her husband’s blood from her hair and sets about enshrining the growing legend of her late husband. http://www.cutprintfilm.com/reviews/jackie/

Can't wait to see it.

The villainy you teach me I will execute-and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.

I'm looking forward to it. I really like Larrain as a director, and Portman looks excellent as Jackie Kennedy.
