Jackie (2016)

I have always been fascinated with The Kennedys and the conspiracy theories surrounding the infamous assassination, so i soak up anything depicting that time. I enjoy Biographies but am a little fussy about the actor looking like the subject (Will Smith as Muhammad Ali- No No No) so when i saw Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy i was unsure to say the least but she truly becomes the icon throughout the film. The story is very well presented using flashbacks of prominent moments in history as Jackie tells her story to a reporter ( Billy Crudup-subtle), some stunning sequences give you a whole new insight into one of the most harrowing very public celebrity deaths of the modern world, well worth you time.


Like This Watch These: J.F.K. (1991) Cool conspiracies, Parkland (2013) In the hospital after the tragedy,  Grey Gardens (1975) Jackie's eccentric relations.
