There will never be another Camelot, but Jackie Kennedy made sure history would look back and remember the Kennedy Presidency and its' legacy in just this way. Which is certainly something considering exactly what happened to bring it to a blood spattered, devastating end. Jackie is powerful, dramatic, haunting, and tragic, yet somehow hope inspiring at the very end. It also reminds me of so many of the reasons I am so fascinated by the life of the former U.S first lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. It mostly focuses on the assassination of JFK and how Jackie suddenly had to grapple with the horror of her first husband's murder, and the heartbreaking pain and sorrow of her loss with the eyes of thousands, even millions on Jackie and her children. In the end, she did what she knew she had to do to give the slain 35th President of the United States the proper funeral procession and burial, she held her head up, left the White House with John F Kennedy Jr. and Caroline and carried on. It was a devastating loss a few decades before my time that was to change and impact an entire nation, and the rest of the world. It is also a reason why I will always have a certain respect and even admiration for this historically famous and important human being. There might be better movies about Jackie and certainly others are entitled to their opinions. But for me, Jackie gets four stars.

Beautifully filmed. A heartbreaking world wide​ known story. Say what you want about JFK, the scandals etc, this story is about his wife and the days following his murder. What she endures, feels, wants. Honestly it left me so sad. What that woman went through, losing her baby a few months before and then witnessing her husband's assassination, I don't know how she didn't give up entirely. I'm so glad she wasn't alive when her son died. Natalie Portman did a wonderful performance. She changed her voice to emanate Jackie's soft and breathy voice. I think a good performance is when you forget who the actress is playing the part and really get absorbed in the story. Wow, just wow. I LOVE Peter Sarsgaard! Ive always loved him. But did he ever do a great RFK! You could just feel all his emotions he displayed. His grief and exhaustion after his brother dies. It all shows in his eyes. I really loved this movie. Will watch again. I rented it and watched it twice. Oh and fyi to the previous review, Jackie Kennedy was NO BIMBO! She made JFK into what he is today. She managed to create an ideal and a legend. I think if she would've just had a subdued funeral for him, not the pomp and circumstance, and never gave that interview​ with Time, he wouldn't be remembered as he is today. THAT came from a smart and calculated move, to create a lasting memory. She invented the Camelot Kennedy's​.

Rich white woman suffers adversity (albeit a brutal death of a loved one), has all the support in the world. Marries another rich dude. Honestly there are parts of this movie which really does serve to humanize such an completely unsympathetic protagonist, and the performances are exceptional. I just find myself at a loss as to the whole mythos of Jackie-O. Solid biopic, worth a looksee.
