Larraín employs a good deal of dramatic license in order to tell his story in order to paint one of the most unknown of widely known figures of the 20th Century in a complex and fascinating light.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 20, 2024

The equal measures of pain and composure in Portman's understated eyes and expressions speak volumes. She exudes all of the grace and poise one would expect of the icon that has become Jackie Kennedy.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 4, 2023

A chilling reminder that for every act of violence, no matter who is the victim, no matter what their walk of life, acts of brutality leave a lasting wake that reverberates for years.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 12, 2023

Natalie Portman does stunning work...

| Dec 21, 2022

Surprisingly this isn’t a puff piece aimed at reinforcing Jackie’s venerated cultural image. It doesn’t shy away from her weaknesses or blemishes. At the same time it doesn’t shortchange her strength and fortitude.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 22, 2022

Larraín and Portman remember that Jackie was also a human being, and they render her convincingly in a complex portrayal.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 5, 2022

Jackie is a heartbreaking portrait of a womans most lonesome moments. With the accompaniment of Levis score and Larrains direction, this film should be in consideration for not only awards but in the conversation of top 10 films of 2016.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 14, 2022

A musical escape from the current maelstrom.

| Nov 4, 2021

Jackie's Natalie Portman is so incredibly Jackie it's tough to imagine anyone else in the role.

| Nov 4, 2021

Jackie is a stunning profile of an iconic American woman's personal fortitude at a time of extreme grief. The film is beautifully crafted and Natalie Portman's performance is superb.

| Nov 4, 2021

Natalie Portman delivers a tremendous performance in a movie that marches to its own beat without ever taking its eye off the ball.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 17, 2021

Jackie isn't just a convincing and riveting depiction of a 20th century icon; it's also a heart-rending portrait of a grieving woman trying to regain control when the life she knows is suddenly and cruelly taken away.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 27, 2021

Pablo Larrain and Natalie Portman seem to pull off the impossible in Jackie: to make an incredible internal film about the importance of grandeur.

| Apr 13, 2021

Jackie is a film about the Kennedy legacy but it's also a part of it. It's as beautifully and evidently staged as the tour the First Lady herself gave on primetime television.

| Mar 16, 2021

[A] visually-stunning and emotionally-moving film... [but] The people of color in this film were used as background and not one had a speaking role.

| Feb 17, 2021

Perfectly timed for interesting Presidential times, Jackie is about as heartbreaking a portrayal of JFK's history and legacy as you could imagine.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 8, 2021

Jackie is a film about the Kennedy legacy but it's also a part of it. It's as beautifully and evidently staged as the tour the First Lady herself gave on primetime television.

| Jan 4, 2021

Very much a project designed solely to exhibit Natalie Portman's acting abilities.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 5, 2020

The director took a very minimalist approach resulting in a film that feels deeply intimate and personal...

| Nov 5, 2020

Larrain shot the film in 16mm, an approach that gives the film an intimacy while also reinforcing Larrain's matter-of-fact approach to telling the stories that unfold.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 12, 2020
