Kristen Stewart is seriously great. I would support an Oscar win. Did the movie look slightly out-of-focus to anyone else? Overall I prefer Jackie.

Holy crap I wasn't expecting that kind of performance at all. From the clouds. That entire opening sequence and he mannerisms when she enters the palace. I didn't think she was capable of doing a British accent let alone complexity there.
As LarraĆ*n's own companion piece to Jackie, the comparison is probably unavoidable, and this comes up short, mostly by the script being even blunter and more heavy-handed, without the previous one's scope of viscerally unimaginable central tragedy to offset it. But when everything else is at such a consistently high level -- direction, score, performances all combined to create an unnerving swirl of haunted-house No Escape (might even prefer Stewart to Portman, because turning the former's usual interior underplaying style extroverted for this role is such an inspired and natural fit) -- the film still overcomes that barrier at the center of it and works more often than not for me anyway. 7/10
