Beautiful cinematography

I love the way this film looks... Shot on 16mm film, with some archive film footage, it looks like nothing else released in 2016.

The naturalistic lighting, use of wide angle lenses, the intimate close up shots, the compositions, breaking the rules by keeping Jackie in the centre of the frame, all add to the emotion, mood and atmosphere of the film... Beautiful and really elevates the movie.

I'm so glad film is still and option for filmmakers, even on such a low budget movie

Yes, that part was exceptionally well-done, and they did the lighting so well there was little to no perceptible change between vintage and new film, which was jarring, for instance, in the film Bobby.
