Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter Natalie Portman was cast, to Pablo Larraín's wishes, he asked screenwriter Noah Oppenheim to tear out any pages of the script that didn't contain scenes with Jackie Kennedy, as he wanted this movie to be entirely about her and her experiences. The 120-page script was trimmed to one hundred pages, all containing Jackie.
- GoofsJackie has the list of funeral attendants read out to her, including "Crown Prince George" of Denmark. Denmark at the time did have a Prince George, but he wasn't Crown Prince. Rather they had a Crown Princess, the later Queen Margrethe. And the only Danish dignitary who attended the funeral was the Prime Minister, Jens Otto Krag.
- Quotes
The Priest: There comes a time in man's search for meaning when he realises that there are no answers. And when you come to the horrible and unavoidable realization, you accept it or you kill yourself. Or you simply stop searching.

It's telling in the universe of the film that Jackie herself is first obsessed with redesigning the White House in what is ostensibly a superficial act of decorating, but then is revealed to be, in reality, attempting to reflect more than the legends of past presidents but also the men who shaped them. A reminder that all legends start with a simple human being doing things only a person can do. A grandiloquent gesture of political humanity for a house full of ghosts.
There's a lot else to like here. Natalie Portman's performance does indeed capture Jackie Kennedy's persona, but also the legend of her and the real woman behind it all. Watching the real White House tour video on YouTube showed me how accurate Portman's breathy accent and meticulous demeanor really were. Beautifully composed, with notes of elegance and grotesqueness in equal measure. And a wonderful, tragic, near other-worldly score by Mica Levi.
