What bothers me is the way she is talking. Jackie O didn't talk like that. And she seems through the film like she's lost or something I'm not sure but I couldn't stand the way she sounds or how she's talkin why???

i was in 4th grade when this happened and we were sent home from school and all the adults were crying and we didn't really understand what a big deal this was. i am trying to watch this now and about half way through but the voice of jackie is SO irritating (more like immitating marilyn monroe) i don't think jackie talked like that and the background music is beyond depressing-it's also boring!

Alow but I liked Natalie. Kind of weird visuals.

could not get into the film too slow could not finish it good acting way too slow paced

Extraordinary, unconventional look at Camelot's last days. Natalie Portman is perfect, amazing musical score, some unforgettable images.

1001 movies to see before you die (1194. Jackie (2016) - Added 2017; Removed 2018). Another lost Flixster rating. !!!!

Typical biography movie for the First Lady of USA. The background music definitely isn't right for this movie tho, little bit scary for some reason.

Far too much whispering, I needed the volume way up and by the end of the film I had had enough. What was the point of this film? I'm just not sure it was worth making.

Me gusto la actuación de Natalie, muy buena película y te ayuda a entender un poco sobre la historia de Jackie Kennedy

Most audience viewers have no idea what they are taking about with there strangely negative reviews. I found it heartbreaking with just a little bit of hope. Its was well put together a grief nightmare. Most people don't understand the style this film takes which is expressionistic and surreal. Its more about capturing a feeling than any accuracy of character or facts.

Very effective presentation of grief using the hyperrealistic perspective of Jackie Kennedy. Both the score and Portman really carry this movie. Because of its hyperrealism the movie gets superficial in the dialogues which leads to a very dull watch. There is little memorability and little to no setpieces. But by far the weakest part of the movie is the use of flashbacks and forwards. This movie is all over the place, but it leaves an intended depressive impact.

Well structured, written and directed. A great movie.

A movie that focuses in on the most harrowing period in the life of the iconic Jackie Kennedy. Portman's performance is quite captivating and nearly makes up for all the flat spots in the movie.

After the assassination of John F Kennedy, the President of the United States, his traumatised wife, Jacqueline, fights to cope with her grief and ensure her children's well-being. Jackie is one of the prettiest movies I have ever seen, not because it has the most flashy cinematography, but simply because of the choices that the team made behind the camera. This movie looks insanely gorgeous with that 1.66:1 aspect ratio. The lenses that they used, made all the shots so much more impactful, and while this movie has a relative small budget, you never feel it watching the movie, the shots are wide and the framing immaculate, I have no words to describe it, why I loved the look of this movie so much. Natalie Portman gives with this and the Black Swan, one of the better leading performances I have ever seen, she was Jackie in this movie. The storytelling feels different, the screenplay feels more impactful then ever and the acting comes out of your screen. I have always been curious, how it must have looked like, from the other side of the story, the side not about the president, but about the people that were the closest to him, and I thought that they captured it beautifully and raw. I was surprised by how much this moved me, and how stunned I was, of the technical achievement of this film, masterclass in filmmaking here, a must watch!

Natalie Portman is wonderful.

The best acting performance from Natalie Portman!

This film is very maudlin - the titular character sounds quite ghostly and it has somewhat of an ethereal feel to it. Of course its all about a true story, a very sad story and I can't say it wasn't a complete tragedy but the film didn't especially appeal to me as it seemed that things were somehow just a bit too overly forced in my opinion. I feel the main culprit in this was the music, the sombre music felt a bit too forced. I can only imagine the pain that Mrs Kennedy must have felt and been left with for a long time after that horrendous shooting but it felt somehow slightly tacky the way that the music is so loudly over-present, if anything. I did feel that Natalie Portman gave a reasonably good performance as Jackie - she does quite well at having a glassy look, which is quite understandable. There was a distinct feeling, an atmosphere, of numbness, again quite understandably so. I still felt that there was something missing but I honestly can't say what that is. It was an ok watch, with some interesting pieces of dialogue and the like but I wouldn't say its especially good or great. Its quite an eery watch but I'm not especially sure I learnt a great deal from it and I wouldn't say its entirely memorable either.

Basically, all of the stars in the rating goes to Natalie Portman for her brilliant portrayal of Jackie Kennedy, simply a very strong acting performance. Not that there aren't some other compelling moments, intense or emotional, and they feel almost realistic too. But there's a weakness lying in the director's fear of taking more on the controversy around the assassination, at least in the scene when LBJ swore the president's oath and afterwards turned to thank those present, like his friend congressman Albert Thomas. There's a photograph from that particular moment, where he winks and LBJ obviously grins back, while Ladybird tries to hide her smile, and Jackie just stands there in shock with her pink dress still full of Jack's blood and brain tissue. But in the film it's as if that moment for some reason doesn't fully exist. If you haven't seen the picture, look it up. It says more than anything. Otherwise, the cinematography is delicate, the editing could be better balanced, and the music score is fine. But there is something missing.

Jackie is a work of cinematic art to us by director Pablo Larrain. The main feature of this film is the way it is able to take the most beautiful elements of the 1960s, mostly in the form of the clothing of Jackie Kennedy. That too is the films main drawback, as it should be the story and not the set which is a films most admired feature. Despite that bit of cinematic inversion, Natalie Portman did an absolutely incredible job playing the late Jackie Kennedy Onassis. Ms. Onassis can be a minefield for actresses given the exacting way in which she is often recalled in popular imagination yet Portman was able to straddle the line between Jackie the icon and Jackie the woman. Sadly Portman's was the only performance I can recall from this film as it felt like there were no notable supporting cast. The focus was so completely on Jackie that it can seem at times voyeuristic especially in times of great distress for the late First Lady. However the beautiful shooting of this film in combination with the very public history of it all allows you to stomach the fact you're watching a woman cry in a pool of her husbands blood.

I could not go beyond the 25 minute mark. The whole thing feels like a concatenation of random back and forth scenes. Her accent sounds strangled. The rythm is just not there. Terrible and boring.
