Jackie Kennedy (Natalie Portman) agrees to give an interview with a reporter (Billy Crudup) about her experiences in the wake of President Kennedy's (Caspar Phillipson) assassination. She details the events leading up to the funeral, decisions that would shape the final moments of his presidency and cement an enduring legacy.
Pablo Larraín has an immense talent in bringing performances out of his lead actresses. So far it has resulted in a bunch of film festival nominations and awards but no real recognition from the Academy. He is absolutely one to watch, however.
Jackie is currently streaming for free on IMDb TV, a service running on Amazon. A word of caution, however. IMDb TV is one if the worst free streamers. They don't warn you about commercial interruption, they don't try to find unobtrusive places to break --it literally cut off in the middle of a word several times-- and all their commercials are for themselves, which seems really dumb considering they are a free service. If it had been on any other platform, I would have switched. Jackie is really good and it might be worth it to you, but only you know that.
