Our take

History and myth become tangled in the impressionistic whirlwind of Pablo Larraín’s take on the aftermath of the Kennedy assassination. With a mighty performance from Natalie Portman at its center, Jackie tears up the Hollywood biopic rule book for a piercing examination of grief, duty, and legacy.
