Jackie

"Larraín makes an extraordinary English-lingo debut with this daring, many-leveled portrait of history's favorite First Lady. (...) galvanized by Natalie Portman’s complex, meticulously shaded work" 

"A potent cinematic provocation (...) Larrain's film - one of the year's best - is appropriately hard to pin down and impossible to forget (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)" 

"Extraordinary in its piercing intimacy and lacerating in its sorrow, 'Jackie' is a remarkably raw portrait of an iconic American First Lady (...) An astonishing performance from a never-better Natalie Portman." 

"'Jackie' veers close to treating camp as high art. But in its audacious strangeness, the movie manages to do something history hardly ever gets to: surprise us" 

"Natalie Portman is better than ever in Pablo Larrain’s Kennedy biopic 'Jackie' (...) A portrait of a famously tragic figure delivered without a lick of condescension or mawkishness." 

"The film has the requisite surface fidelity (...) But it also has moments of lightness and strangeness, as well as kinks and sour notes, which strengthen the sense that these are people, not figurines in a dutiful, paint-by-numbers biopic." 

"The film’s look recaptures the era marvelously, but the atmosphere is undermined by a script that stumbles from one improbable scene to another (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"
