JACKIE got rave reviews after it was previewed at Toronto International Film Festival last month, and now we've finally got the chance to see what all the fuss is about.

Natalie Portman stars as former first lady Jackie Onassis in the days following her husband and former president John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963.

From the moments immediately after her husband's haunting death, to his patriotic funeral, the film promises to give a fascinating glimpse into the woman behind the poised and dignified front.

Portman has received plenty of praise for her performance, with whispers of Oscar glory spreading far and wide.

Meanwhile the team behind the film are just as talented, with Pablo Larrain directing and Noah Oppenheim penning the fascinating script.

While Jackie is yet to get a UK release date, it's hitting US cinemas on 2 December.

Fingers crossed we won't have to wait too much longer!
