REVIEW

The presence of Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, or later known as Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis, is almost as a complement to the story. A mother country wearing an iconic pink Chanel suit that remains strong amid the tragedy that greeted her. But now, Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larrain (No, Neruda) is trying to focus all the attention on Jackie, the nickname of the mother country. Installing an Oscar-winning actress, Natalie Portman as Jackie who is also used for the title, Larrain has brought an interesting perception that has been neglected.

Larrain did not take us into Jackie's life from her youth until she later married a wealthy Greek shipbuilder Onassis. No. He takes a more narrative approach when Jackie is at the White House when he tries to look happy with her husband on many state parties, to his grief when the President is snatched away from his soul, his outpouring, to how he tries to make peace with his bitter memories. Presented in a non-linear random plot, the script of Noah Oppenheim (Maze Runner, Allegiant Part I) is like a dream Marton ala Terence Mallick, which is poetic and often takes the language of a close-up image to highlight the character's facial expression in French cinematographer Stephane Fontaine. Thus the continuity of the plot is a journalist interview hosted by Billy Crudup (based on Life magazine journalist Theodore H. White) with Jackie who is now beginning to accept reality. Well, in this interview session Jackie sometimes daydreams memories as a first lady during her two-year tenure. 

Creating biographical films can be tricky, and a good scenario factor must also be supported by a strong, charismatic main star and be able to bring his film to the correct lane with a convincing play. And for that, Portman must be thumbs up. Because in addition to successfully incarnate physically as a figure Jackie complete with his flawless Mid-Atlantic accents, Portman is also able to bring the lakon with the emotional side that is not easy but caught on the screen nicely. His relationship with JFK was also only vaguely described by Larrain, no excessive sentimental sessions, and his relationship with his assistant, Nancy played by Greta Gerwig, then his closeness with his brother-in-law, Bobby (Peter Sarsgaard), to his spiritual moments with a Pastor of the late John Hurt's saga became more intensively highlighted, rather than stacking his picisan story with JFK or Marilyn Monroe. And it is synergically dynamic telling the life of Jackie in the moment of his grace until his toughness through grief and politics are equally bitter.

Within minutes of his duration, Jackie did look dull, but Larrain's strong lead, Portman's convincing performance, to his amazing technical details that was eye-catching was Jackie's strength. A film about women presented poetic, beautiful but not seductive and quite memorable in the memory.
