Jackie Reviews

The narrative develops at a slow pace yet maintains a crisp thrill all throughout. It keeps you invested but doesn’t take you in as much as you’d expect and would like it to. Also, the nonchalant background score makes it a tad bit difficult to keep your attention from wavering.

Jackie offers a window through time into the life of Jacqueline Kennedy but you wouldn’t want to believe it is due to the exorbitantly larger than life treatment that it gets. The film tried exceptionally hard to be exceptional and it seeps through the seams just enough to make you feel disenchanted.

A disturbingly intimate portrayal of Jacqueline Kennedy, ‘Jackie’ is a film that unmasks her in such a tender yet objective manner; you feel like an intruder who is tailing the first lady of America and a widow in her most trying time. Still, this is when director Pablo Larraín shows you just what Jacqueline was made of.

Overall, with a proper tone, accurate setting and above all, an unforgettable performance, Jackie is a powerful, subtle and dark film made only more emotional by the grating soundtrack.

    'Jackie' the biographical film abou Mrs. Kennedy is a disappointing film on the cultural grounds and a surprisingly emotional film on the moral one- how can a film lack wholeheartedly in an aspect and soar in the best way in the other? But unfortunately, this isn't the case here, since for a film to be equal parts confusing and exciting, the film plays a rough, uneven game. It can be easily rejected even on its morality. But its style, fervor, sultriness and Natalie Portman do save it from becoming an untreated disaster. I am going with 2.5 out of 5 for 'Jackie'. It has flare and candies which offer it sweetness, and problems.
