Jackie

Jackie is a searing and intimate portrait of one of the most important and tragic moments in American history, seen through the eyes of the iconic First Lady, then Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy (Natalie Portman). "Jackie" places us in her world during the days immediately following her husband's assassination. Known for her extraordinary dignity and poise, here we see a psychological portrait of the First Lady as she struggles to maintain her husband’s legacy and the world of "Camelot" that they created and loved so well.

Every year there is a movie like this that is pretty much just a showcase of excellent acting while the movie as a whole leaves me thinking ehhhhh.  Jackie is that movie this year.  Natalie Portman was great but the rest of the movie was just okay and too artsy at times.  The timeline was all over the place and it probably would have benefitted. From a point a to point b approach instead.  I'm also about as far as you can get from being a history buff so that audience might find this more enjoyable than I did.

I would only recommend people checking this out for Natalie Portman's acting.  The rest of the movie left a lot to be desired.
