Cinephile No. 621 "Jackie"

Have you ever imagined what it might be like to have your husband murdered in front of the whole world? Can you fathom the pain and overwhelming sense of loss? Now, imagine your husband is the President of the United States and you are the First Lady. "Jackie" tries to do all these things and more. Using source material, it asks us to come along for the journey. We are there from the first shots being fired to Jackie's last days in the White House. Thanks to another brilliant performance by Natalie Portman we are offered a first-hand account of what the pain we can never fully imagine must have felt like. We are offered a story that I won't soon forget. 

Be good to each other, 

-Nathan
