Cinema Cindy Reviews: Jackie
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB“Jackie”, the movie, was released Dec. 2 of last year. It is nominated for three Oscars. A Best Actress nomination went to Natalie Portman for the film for her portrayal of Jackie Kennedy in the days following the assassination of her husband, President John F. Kennedy. An Original Score nomination and one for Costume Design also are well deserved.
