Movie reviews: Jackie, Lion, Split
opens in the wake of John F Kennedy’s assassination, when JFK’s widow Jackie (Natalie Portman) agrees to an interview with a journalist (Billy Crudup) at Hyannis Port in Massachusetts.
As the journalist probes Jackie’s carefully maintained façade, the story flashes back to the day of the assassination and its immediate aftermath, where we discover the real woman behind the media construct, as the distraught Jackie grieves, shields her children from the grisly truth, and begins the battle to preserve JFK’s legacy.
