Chicago, put on your pillbox hat and see Jackie tomorrow night for free

Even those who don’t long for the bygone days of the American Camelot will find something to appreciate in Pablo Larraín’s Jackie, a stylized, highly subjective depiction of the period immediately following John F. Kennedy’s assassination on November 22, 1963 from the perspective of his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy. A typical biopic this isn’t, and Natalie Portman plays the former First Lady with eerie precision, down to the affected Transatlantic accent she picked up in boarding school. Of the film,The A.V. Club’s A.A. Dowd says, “Jackie shows us the facade and the beneath, which is just one way this boldly off-kilter movie puts its biopic brethren to shame.”
