[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. Go to Full Review Adam Nayman Cinema Scope 09/28/2017

A-
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. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 09/04/2023
5/5
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. Go to Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh 05/12/2023
4/5
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Carol W @Moviemom1963 Feb 14 Gosh- I am a big fan of Natalie Portman, but I just could not get past her terrible performance....But it is not her fault! She never should have been cast in this role- She is too thin and frail and her accent was horrifying. Mrs Kennedy-Onasis was a strong, sturdy woman. Even with her soft voice she was confident, clear and always polite. She was raised to be that way...She was a horse woman, and athletic. I love Ms Portman in every other film of hers I've seen- but this was just over her head. Billie Crudup was good, but he played it straight, and could really just be himself. Any way, I'm rather late to this film, I was having children when it first came out... See more alan g @agenser Dec 19 Natalie Portman is excellent but it glorifies a narcissistic person who was always out for herself. Diana before Diana. JFK was a fraud of the highest order. His book was ghost written. He was a womanizer that made Clintoon look celebate. He passed no meaningful legislation. He got us involved in vietnam. Waste of time. See more 2000's Barbie @Thedoll Aug 15 Another movie Natalie shines in. The tone, the acting and the way the movie is filmed is just pure perfection! This can be one of the greatest films of the 21st century very easily. Highly recommend! See more Cortny C Apr 8 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??? See more donnie m 02/14/2025 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! See more Helena K 12/09/2024 Alow but I liked Natalie. Kind of weird visuals. See more Read all reviews
