YMMV / Jackie

Go To

  • Awesome Music: The entire film's haunting, melancholic score by Mica Levi (Micachu) counts. It is regarded as one of the best scores of 2016 alongside films such as La La Land and Moonlight (2016), which this film competed against at the Oscars.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • The film would basically serve as a reunion of sorts for Natalie Portman and Peter Sarsgaard, who previously worked together in Garden State.
    • This film features Lady Bird Johnson as a supporting character. A year later, Greta Gerwig, who played Nancy Tuckerman, Jackie's friend and secretary, directed a film called Lady Bird.
  • Iron Woobie: Jackie, from start to finish. Pay particular attention to her scene with Valenti where she not only tells him she wants to go ahead with the Lincoln-style walking procession, but:
    Jackie. And tell General De Gaulle — if he wishes to ride in an armored car — or in a tank for that matter — I won’t blame him. And I’m sure the tens of millions of people watching won’t either.
