Jackie Kennedy biopic (with Natalie Portman) thread

didn't notice that aspect of Neruda tbh

Tony Manero, Post Mortem, El Club were so good

Jackie gives a sense of how constantly Jackie Kennedy was watched

Ema is v good

No special interest in the subject, but I liked Jackie, like Kristen Stewart (or at least did, until seeing she doesn't count Adventureland as one of her five good films--clueless!), and like the poster, so I went to see Spencer. I may see it again, eventually--I was tired, so I drifted off for possibly 15-20 minutes.

Very hush-hush and morose. I wish they'd had a bit more of the Diana you see with her sons, but the director wants you to know how miserable her life was, so I guess he didn't want to undermine that. Sally Hawkins has a great scene that will get her lots of year-end recognition and awards. Unusual score--jazz concrete, or something. An accomplishment of sorts: it's all so gloomy, when Mike & the Mechanics barrel in after two hours they practically sound like the Sex Pistols.

the score is so good

i thought this was all around better than jackie but could’ve lost twenty minutes

Maybe I got lucky and those were the 20 minutes I slept through.

Looked back at my Jackie post four years ago: "may have nodded off for about 10 minutes early on." I'm taking longer naps now.

Larrain should make more flicks like Ema.
