Jackie (Drama - 2016)

For a movie where you know exactly what happens, you sure spend a lot of time at the edge of your seat. Major accolades goes to the screenwriting, directing, and acting there. It’s a simple story that’s executed (no pun intended / too soon?) flawlessly. Yes, Natalie Portman is amazing, but I was particularly compelled by the score and especially by the cinematography. There’s a quick camera shot that shows Jackie’s face from underneath her black veil blowing in the wind that’s absolutely stunning. One of the best shots - if not the best - of 2016.
