This movie brings you in to the world of Jackie O. You learn how she felt during and dealt with difficult situations. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of the Kennedys.

This is a very dark but well-crafted re-telling of the JFK tragedy. The perspective is very unique, as the movie focuses on the immediate aftermath of the JFK assassination through Jackie Kennedy's eyes, as she struggles to transition from the White House to a post-presidential world while crafting the nation's image of both her husband's legacy and that of his presidency. A few factual historical inaccuracies are glaring but none take away from the basic historical accuracy of Jackie's post-presidential struggles. Well-worth watching and instructive for understanding the national events of 1963 and 1964.

John: Mommy, where's Daddy? Jackie: Daddy will not come home. Caroline: Why not? Jackie: Daddy had to go see your brother Patrick, to heaven. Caroline: Why? Jackie: Because I'm with you and we do not want Patrick to be alone. Caroline: What about us? Jackie: Caroline, I need you to be strong. Can you be brave right? Can you be a soldier? A very bad man hurt daddy. Daddy would come home if he could, but he can not. He has to go to heaven. Caroline: Can I say goodbye to him? Jackie: Yes, of course, yes, my love.

this movie had excellent intentions, but omitting the foundation of the way the Honourable Late President J.F. Kennedy and First Lady Jackie Kennedy met made the presentation feel like something was missing, like the filling of a Sees candy piece missing the nougat, cream, nuts, etc. The rush politics that ensued surrounding the tragedy was disturbing to watch, and one hopes that it was partially fiction, but may be sadly authentic.

I bought this movie to entertain my 94 year old mother and learn more about Jackie Kennedy. It is a really somber movie, not what I expected. My mother was overwhelmed by the story. I did learn lots about the politics about that period of time. Wow.
