TerribleI rented this movie with my parents. My dad walked out saying its just downright awful and its the worst display of acting he's ever seen. He also noted Portman's weird accent with heavy breathing sounded like Gollum from Lord Of The Rings. My mom was hopful it would get better. Unfortunatly, it never did and we shut it off..Score: 1/5
Incredible story of a misunderstood personThis film puts you in the shoes of the woman dealing with unimaginable circumstances at a very young age. Kudos to the entire cast. I was transfixed by Natalie Portman's performance..Score: 5/5
Do Drink CoffeeYou will need to Drink Coffee in order to stay awake. Nothing wrong with the performances just a plain good Old-Fashioned boring film. A real disappointment. People my age remember where we were when we lost the much loved President. And, we very much admired his beautiful wife even though her voice could be off putting. I really wanted to at least like this movie! At least wait for it to appear for streaming on one of several streaming services..Score: 1/5
JackieWaste of money. Her worst role yet. Bad acting, particularly the role of Bobby. Not believable. Poorly pieced together film..Score: 2/5
HeartbreakingNatalie Portman does an excellent job portraying one of the most publicized women of the 20th century. The accent, the dramatizations, Jackie's attitudes and mannerisms are almost perfect. One does forget that Ms. Portman is on the screen. The White House sets were authentic down to the last detail . John Hurt, Greta Gerwig, Peter Saarsgard, and Billy Crudup shine in their roles. The film is impressionistic; it moves back and forth through time , over those tragic days, before and after the tragedy in Dallas. Jackie had more to deal with besides the cold blooded horror of her husband's murder. She grappled with PTSD and suicidal wishes. The priest does give her wise solace as she bravely buries her 3 deceased loved ones . At the end, Jackie is ready to forge her own future with hope..Score: 5/5

Innovative and ExceptionalJackie was a superb blend of true events, real dialogue, actual footage, and what we can only speculate happened behind closed doors. The set design was impeccable and the attention to detail was unmatched. The score was completely unique– its use of deep, melting strings and percussion often contrasted by the levity of the flute– and played a central role in the film, while the lack of chronology only enhanced the emotional fragility and connection you feel with each character. Much of the dialogue between Jacqueline Kennedy and the interviewer can be seen in the archived notes from Theodore H. White’s Camelot Interview and some of her private letters. I found many of the depictions to be quite accurate. While we can’t know exactly what was felt and said in such private moments, Jackie prompts us to see Jacqueline Kennedy, not as an icon, but as a human being– privately enduring tremendous inner turmoil, as she came home to wash her husband’s blood and brains out of her hair, planned her children’s birthday parties, and her husband’s funeral at the same time. With the pressure to move her young children into a new home looming over her head, she tried to keep a brave face for the public as she meticulously mapped out the nation’s final goodbye to her husband, the slain president. We lauded Jacqueline Kennedy for the strength and the courage she showed throughout those 5 grim days in November, yet we forget that behind closed doors, she was a widow in shock, on the verge of breaking down at any second, and struggling to find a moment to unreservedly grieve. Jackie is our chance to re-examine those very real and very human emotions the nation didn’t permit Jacqueline Kennedy to display on those days or in the years to follow..Score: 5/5

Worst movie of 2016Two things warrant the one star I gave this movie - costume design and hairstyling. The cinematography was average to above average with a few spectacular moments. Everything else is horrible - particularly the editing (it broke the movie), the directing, the acting, the casting, the production and - oh! - the music. This is the worst pairing of music and film I have ever seen. The music succeeds in breaking those parts of the movie the editing missed. The frenetic and nonsensical editing further sullied what might have been a good movie if it had some semblance of a coherent timeline, which was deliberately fragmented in order to appear artsy and edgy (it failed spectacularly). Don't waste your time or money. Watch the trailer - at least the trailer creators know how to edit film to appear compelling, and it hits all of the high points. This movie is slow and boring with an immersion breaking soundtrack that would have been better placed in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I am a history enthusiast, and I found this movie to be a bitter disappointment. They made Jackie Kennedy look weak and downright bizarre for most of the movie and failed to capture the true strength, resilience and intelligence of this amazing woman. This could have been a great movie, an inspiring movie. It was instead, an ordeal to watch..Score: 1/5
Who wants to share Jackie's shock; not me.I lived through this terrible time (not that the present isn't every bit as terrible) and saw Oswald get shot numerous times. It would appear that Americans, at the least the tv stations, revel in people's pain. I had great expectations for Jackie but it turned out to be a long, depressing, boring movie. Non of the Boston brahmins sounded correct. This dectracted severly from the authenictity of the film. Woudn't watch it again nor recommend it..Score: 2/5
DisappointingI have a keen interest in the Kennedy era and have read various books and seen other films. Was looking forward to "Jackie" but couldn't finish it - boring - like a "one woman show" - with some grim visuals and a flat monologue. If that's what you are looking for.....Score: 2/5
