The biggest highlight of the film is easily the performance of Andrew Garfield. In his days since hanging up his Spiderman suit, Garfield has routinely churned out great performances, and Mainstream is no exception. He proves that he is willing to try anything and go anywhere in a character.
It’s hard to capture the emotions and thoughts of a character just from a few shots, but Oscar nominee composer Mica Levi’s haunting melodies proves otherwise in 'Jackie'.
