“Jackie” takes place during the days immediately following John F. Kennedy’s assassination as his widow, Jackie Kennedy, struggles to maintain her husband’s legacy and the world of “Camelot” they created and loved.
Natalie
Portman paints a deep and intimate picture of former first
lady, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, as she tries to regain some control
of her life just days after the tragic events in Texas in
November 1963, where her husband was shot and killed as his
motorcade drove past the book depository in downtown Dallas.
Portman
reaches into the heart of the character and extracts a
beautifully woven yet emotionally charged performance. Kennedy
knows all too well she must act before the tides of time wipe
significance of her husband’s presidency away.
In
that decision, we find the strength of Jackie’s character as she
tells her story. Portman is is exquisite in capturing the essence of
Jackie, her walk, her vocal inflections and her spirit.
“Jackie”
gets an A and is rated R.

Moana
Starring: Dwayne Johnson (Voice)
Rated PG
Moana is the chief’s daughter, an adventurous teenager who sets sail on a daring mission to save her people by returning a stolen gem to appease an angry god. To do this, Moana needs the help of a once-mighty demigod named Maui to guide her and teach her to become a master way-finder, a talent her people lost over time.
Together
they sail across the vast ocean to return a priceless artifact.
Along the way the pair encounter many obstacles and ask the
question “What is my place in the world?”
“Moana”
is a joyfully exuberant buddy picture, in which the heroes learn more
about themselves and the power of friendship and loyalty. Added to
that is a rich score, written by “Hamilton” composer Lin-Manuel
Miranda, influenced by South Pacific rhythms."Moana" gets an A and is rated PG.
"Moana" and "Jackie" are joining the Netflix library in a few weeks, add them to your queue, get them delivered without worry of late fees, and in the meantime there are plenty of films to catch up on with your free first month.
I suggest Bryan Cranston in "Trumbo," the true story of screenwriter Dalton Trumbo who, in 1947, was blacklisted for his political beliefs.
And if you haven't seen it check out "The Witch," hailed as one of the smartest and scariest films.
