Just few weeks ago, Pablo Larraín proved with Neruda that he doesn’t make biopics like anyone else. As conventional as it may be in the background, Jackie, devoted to President Kennedy's famous wife, is a subtle and masterful film. Natalie Portman’s performance is excellent in the pure Hollywood tradition (it’s not surprising she has been nominated for an Oscar), but it is because Larraín is interested in the complexity of the character, which is both fragile and worrisome, that the movie is a success. The result is a portrait with several dimensions and speeds, finely crafted and beautiful, more intimate and impressive than most biopics of recent years.
