Jackie's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
Eschewing standard biopic form at every turn, this brilliantly constructed, diamond-hard character study observes the exhausted, conflicted Jackie as she attempts to disentangle her own perspective, her own legacy, and, perhaps hardest of all, her own grief from a tragedy shared by millions.
The Hollywood Reporter
Extraordinary in its piercing intimacy and lacerating in its sorrow, Jackie is a remarkably raw portrait of an iconic American first lady, reeling in the wake of tragedy while at the same time summoning the defiant fortitude needed to make her husband's death meaningful, and to ensure her own survival as something more than a fashionably dressed footnote.
The Guardian
It's a singular vision from an uncompromising director that happens to be about one of the most famous women in American history. Jackie is not Oscar bait - it's great cinema.
The Playlist
Jackie is what happens when two distinct sensibilities - the Goliath of the Hollywood prestige pic and the David of Pablo Larraín's playful, idiosyncratic intelligence - throw down.
Indiewire
Anchored by Natalie Portman's achy-eyed performance, Jackie is, despite a few wrinkles at the end, about the best version of this story you can get.
Screen Daily
Larraín's highly varied visual invention and command of complex structure serve as a reminder of how vitally an imaginative director can skew what otherwise might have emerged in more mainstream colours.
El Mundo
Pablo Larraín composes a painful, beautiful and very educated portrait of the widow of Kennedy.
