Unbelievably dull. Natalie Portman's "authentic" accent is so incomprehensible that we couldn't work out what she was mumbling. Truly a Marlon Brando for our age. So glad we missed this at the cinema. Gave up watching after about 20-30 minutes. First time that's happened in years - we usually stick with a film to the end, but this one was just unbearable and, frankly, life is too short.

Jackie Kennedy, while an interesting historical figure, isn't a very cinematic one. "Jackie" is done visually in a very dark, quiet style that is pleasant to view, but the film lacks virtually any content that's interesting or relevant. Hell, there isn't really even a story to this film, but rather just events in Jackie Kennedy's life. How she deals with the assassination of her husband is the pivotal focus, but not even Natalie Portman's spot-on portrayal helps the film. This film seems like it was just sort of made for the sake of being made, crossing off another historical figure to make a movie about and get another famous actress an Oscar or nomination.

Could they not find an actor that can do an authentic Boston accent? Harrowing & dull performances. Speaking low and under your breath does not an actor make. Very boring and not worth the time.

That was an hour and and forty minutes of my life I can't get back. So slow and boring, I had hoped it would have been about more than the week after the assassination.
