Movie Review: JACKIE
JACKIE Director: Pablo Larraín Starring: Natalie Portman, Peter Sarsgaard, Greta Gerwig, Billy Crudup, John Hurt, John Carroll Lynch, Beth Grant As Jackie states as the end of the film, “There won’t be another Camelot.” It’s an accurate assessment as I can’t imagine another family entering American politics that garner as much fascination, intrigue, and polarization…
