“Jackie” (** out of four) was a static biography of the former First Lady (Natalie Portman) set in 1963 as she struggles to come to terms with the after-effects of her husband’s assassination to regain her faith, console her family, and to define JFK’s historic legacy. Never terribly moving or compelling, despite the fascinating subject matter and time period. Portman certainly looks like Kennedy but her performance (and others) is mannered and one-note under Pablo Larrain’s stiff direction. Only Billy Crudup livens things up with his effortless charisma as an interviewer meeting with Kennedy who frames the story.
