“For royalty you need tradition. And for tradition, you need time.”
One of the most affecting films I’ve ever seen, we get a kaleidoscopic glimpse into the life of Jackie Kennedy in the days after her husband’s death that feels too personal and intimate thanks to Natalie Portman’s astonishing performance.
★★★★★
“What’s there is there. The rest of that shit’s in your head, understand?”
For a film focused on one person for 95% of the runtime, this is incredibly tense, well-acted, and gripping — smart and focused with an ending that’ll get you shouting at the screen.
★★★★☆
“What if all these things that happened to us happened to us so the next things that gonna happen to us can happen to us?”
Criticised for being more ‘style over substance,’ it really is engaging and beautiful, so what if it’s a little light on story or dialogue?
★★★★☆
“Do you know what the cure for the human condition is? Disease. Because that’s the only way one could hope for a cure.”
Terrifyingly bizarre, a beautifully created fantasy psychological horror that will both confuse you and make you squirm.
★★★★★
“Uncle Lee, are you fundamentally unsound?”
A bleak but engrossing story about loss and how it affects people, outstanding performances.
