Jackie
Jackie | 100mins |
John F. Kennedy's assassination and much of its public aftermath was televised; the country mourned with his widow, Jackie Kennedy. Jackie, famously shy and private, was publicly a pillar of grace and dignity, and this film goes behind closed doors to show how hard the facade could be to maintain. Jackie deals (or tries to deal) with her grief as she strives to protect her husband's legacy, the only part of him she can still protect, from political vultures. On top of that, she has to contend with matters of State, like being kicked out of her and John's last home to make way for the next administration. Jackie shows the human side of an incredible woman, making her even more impressive.
