Natalie Portman's incredible performance amazes everyone, but some co-stars are a bit doubtful
Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman wowed everyone in her first glance as Jackie Kennedy in the film's first official trailer and during the Toronto Film Festival. One of Portman's salient portrayal of the role is her accent. However, in a report by Cinema Blend, there is something "odd" with the actress' accent, even her co-stars were not sure how to react to it, as what the actress revealed to the source. The accent is said to be a little too different from how Jackie really sounds, and the actress added that her co-stars were thinking that it was a little bit exaggerated.
Nevertheless, the film is getting great reviews from many people. The movie had its world premiere at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival and is said to be released in theaters on December 2, 2016.
