Review of Jackie (2016) by Metaflix I — 14 Jan 2017
I think the best biopics are the ones that concentrate on a small portion of life rather than try to cover an entire life in one film. Jackie does the former and does it expertly. The focus in this powerful film is the week following the assassination of JFK.
It is a film filled with grief, regret and reflection and features an amazing performance by Natalie Portman. Portman inhabits Jackie displaying her in many shades and hues. We see her as bitter, grieving, calculating and most of all human.
This is a supremely focused film that packs a quiet wallop.
