Very disappointing...

Boring

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

JackieThere are few dramatic sequences installed so perfectly that it aches to see such a fine art go waste by under this huge pile of troubled mourning that neither leaves the character nor the audience to inhale for a moment. The feature is rich in costume and make-up design but unfortunately fails in background score and product design. The writing attempts a lot to grasp the viewers' attention through various perspective that may change the opinion but the real culprit in here is the premise that is restrained and something whose boundary can't be broken which is a downer. Pablo Larrian; the director, has done a tremendous work on executing this eerie character driven feature where the editing might not support it thoroughly. Natalie Portman is flat out amazing on her depiction and is supported brilliantly by a great supporting cast like Billy Crudup and Greta Gerwig. There are lots of bits and pieces that are thought-provoking and something that can be explored upon but if considered as a whole package, it shatters expectations. Jackie is a passion project that is grieved over life and death but the amount of time and the path it chooses to convey its message makes the audience work for it and frankly at the end of the line it isn't worth to that extent.

Not at all what you would expect. You realize in this movie that Jacky O was just a very boring person... thanks for that.

Overrated movie: Jackie (on Amazon Prime). Comparing Portman's tour of the White House to the real thing on YouTube, she's a truly incredible mimic - but not sure her acting skills are really demonstrated here.I get that the semi-random flicking back and forth between present and past is a deliberate attempt to convey her mental state, but it still feels random.Disappointing that we learn so little of the woman beyond her entirely understandable state in the immediate aftermath of the assassination. The blood-stained dress was really thrown in your face in scene after scene (we got it the first time, thanks). And the (fictitious) interview gimmick felt crude - telling when it could have been showing.Finally, the photography was bland and uninteresting even when showing what should have been grand or moving scenes. It's not a terrible movie, but it was a tremendous waste given what it could have been.

This must be the umpteenth version of Jacks by now? I think they were full of bravado agreeing to do this yet again. For those of us who are old enough to have lived through it, nothing new here. I have to say that I have difficulty historically dealing with impersonators in general because I tend to become harsher than usual. I'm a stickler for small details. For instance, her hair is incorrect--Jackie had more of it and a lower hairline which gave her a distinctive look. Natalie's hair comes and goes throughout the film as though she either has extensions going on or a wig and then not a wig. Her hairline is so high that she almost looks like she's balding. Then there's the accent--at times it does evoke Jackie but mostly there's a distinctive annoying lisp that Jackie never had. Then there's the miscasting of almost everyone else in the film The only people who 'look' like they might be Kennedys are the actors for JFK and Teddy whom we barely see or hear. Bobby is played by one of those Swedish boys from that huge Scarsgaard family. He too has an unbearable lisp. Jackie was tall for a female of that time; Ms. Portman barely reaches anyone's shoulders. Jacks was famous for wearing low cut heels. Natalie is on stilts and even then she can't outgrow Tucky or Rose Kennedy (who was a shrimp). The clothing looks bought from a Catholic charities shop downtown--work,cheap and completely wrong. The children are pathetically incorrect, no comment (Some producers' kids no doubt?)! A fine Brit actor plays the priest but hardly has a line worth mentioning. Portman gives good grief but adds a snippy , cranky sarcastic edge to everything she says (very unlike ladies who were taught manners from Miss Porters). A 'rush to production' is obvious . It does perhaps show Jackie's complete experience of the time but hardly and unfairly all sides of the woman. Watch documentaries and skip this one.
