Critics Consensus

Jackie offers an alluring peek into a beloved American public figure's private world -- and an enthralling starring performance from Natalie Portman in the bargain.

[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.

If Jackie has a conceptual emblem, this is it: messy reality splattering all over a carefully maintained façade.

Pablo Larraín's disappointing Jacqueline Kennedy biopic tries but ultimately fails to reconcile the person with the persona.

[Natalie] Portman embraces the complexity of inhabiting both the public persona and the private person, trying to be a mother to her children and First Lady to a country in mourning while reeling from shock and loss.

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.

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.

Portman did a good job and Jackie is an iconic woman. But only focusing on the assassination made her feel like just an arm piece.

This movie is about that famous historical moment. But it is more about grief. And that grief makes it strong but slow. I found myself in a position where I felt a documentary would be much more effective

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...

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.

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!

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???
