More interesting and better than I'd expected - nuanced and unjudgemental in how it treats both the myth-making element of her rendition of Kennedy's presidency and the events around his assassination, and the way she responds to that personal and publicly-lived loss (grief, depression, self-assertion), with the second of those - the experiential side - much the better. A heavy film, and given additional weight by Portman's performance, which is convincingly layered (not to mention the score).
