Review: JACKIE (2016)

This review made possible in part through contributions to The onlinemoviesmaniahd Patreon.Spoiler warning for 2017: You're about to go through about a year and a half's worth of politically-themed film and television releases that are going to feel wistfully out of step because they were designed to be "current" with what everyone assumed was going to be the beginning of the Hillary Clinton administration.
