Jackie

Natalie Portman renders a striking central performance in this remarkable portrait of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, which places its focus upon the immediate aftermath of her husband’s assassination. As a stunned nation grieved--and watched her every move--the new widow had to plumb depths she didn’t know she possessed to maintain her poise, console her children, and fight to preserve the legacy of JFK’s administration. Peter Sarsgaard, Greta Gerwig, Billy Crudup, John Hurt, and John Carroll Lynch also star. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
