Jackie

Natalie Portman is an amazing actress and tackling on a role of one of the most iconic figures in American history certainly further cements that.  Jackie is a uniquely written and directed film about First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.  It's shown in a series of flashbacks from an interview in the aftermath of her husband's assassination.  The flashback segments include her time in the White House, the events of the assassination, and the aftermath; which are amazing in showcasing the many sides of her persona within that high stakes bubble. There is a very unique soundtrack that captures the tone of those moments really well and aids in these transitional segments.  Because of that, the performances, the creative cinematography, and directing, Jackie has a poetical almost art house feel to it that lends itself well in discovering this character.
