‘Jackie’ MOVIE REVIEW: Impressive Natalie Portman Helps Offset Film’s Flaws
There is little light shed on Jackie before she became the First Lady and after she became a widow.
There is little light shed on Jackie before she became the First Lady and after she became a widow.
There is a perpetual sense of fun throughout, and a sweetness that never falls on the wrong side of sentimentality.
The film time and again emits a sense of heart and soul; the perfect balance of visuals and stirring music.
A story about family, determination and the complex nature of identity, executed with heart and poignancy.
Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are both magnificent in Damien Chazelle’s outstanding follow-up to ‘Whiplash’.
The film’s attempts at restrained eccentricities are anything but humble, and worse still, arthouse smugness leaks through.
But still a movie that’s a little less exciting than the one you might be expecting.
Despite a few stumbles, this is an overall impressive film.
Despite a few minor issues, super nerds and casual fans alike have a great new chapter on their hands.
Tugs at a few emotional chords, despite being fleeting in nature.
