Chilean director Pablo Larrain, of No and The Club fame, makes his English-language debut with this intimate portrait of Jackie Kennedy in the aftermath of her hubby’s assassination.
He deftly dodges biopic conventions with a complex mosaic character study that has Natalie Portman on top form as the devastated yet defiant widow determined to take control of her legacy and that of JFK. Go here for our full review. The Watershed’s screening on April 9 is part of the April Sunday brunch Celebrating Female Composers season for Filmic 17.
