Is the assassination depicted graphically? Or at all?

Call me a ghoul but it's kind of the only reason to watch a movie anymore about the subject. Jackie herself is by circumstance an interesting figure, but from what I've read about this movie, it's dull.

"Can I use her underwear to make soup?"

It's shown pretty late in the film but i'd say it's the most graphic I've ever seen the assassination depicted.

It was quick but gruesome.

I could have done without it. The blood on her dress and stockings was sufficient for me.

Yes, it is depicted, quite graphically. Portman is terrific in the scene, and in the entire rest of the movie.

Absolutely THE most graphic depiction I have seen, and made me think (as I have considered before) that versions of the Zapruder film on TV, internet, or wherever, MUST be extremely slowed down. Jackie didn't have as much time to react as these slowed-down versions depict.
