Found 'Jackie' to be surprisingly great. Was expecting it to be a typical Hollywood biopic but it turned out to be a character study in the aftermath of JFK's assassination and anything but typical. Beautifully shot, surreal and haunting at times. Great performance by Natalie Portman. Wonderful work by Pablo Larrain.
Also, finally got round to watching 'The Departed'. Solid movie but not really up there with Scorcese's best. Have to say, I found it quite inferior to the masterful original 'Infernal Affairs' (watch that if you haven't!).
