“Seberg” (**1/2 out of four) was an intermittently intriguing melodrama set in the late 1960’s based on the true story of French new wave icon Jean Seberg (Kristin Stewart) and her politcal/romantic/personal relationship with civil rights activist Hakim Jamal (Anthony Mackie) and the firestorm of consequences this led to for all involved. Strong performances from Mackie and Stewart and good storytelling keep you involved for a while but after a while- there’s a certain fire and passion that’s missing which makes the end result respectable but yet aloof.
