| Realizing this is a generalization, the question still needs to be posed:
Why is it that these bio-pics about artistic people seem to be so
overwrought and punctuated by multiple exclamation points? more |

No, it's not that Hilary and it's not that Jackie - and not

| 'Hilary and Jackie' is the stuff that sibling rivalries are made of.
Pleasant ones that is. As one of the most human stories of 1998, the
film has the classic detail of what is supposed to happen while
