Most people of a certain age in the UK will remember exactly what they were doing when they heard that Princess Diana had died .
I do .
I've never known a death affect a country so much as this did and I doubt it ever will again.
What we didn't fully realise was the misery that Diana had gone through being a royal and Spencer takes us into that world , all be at for just a few days , to see what it might have been like .
This took me a while to get into . At first I wasn't convinced that Kristen Stewart was a good Diana but the longer this went on the more convincing she became and by the end I was thinking that this must be a performance that will attract award attention.
It's a claustrophobic film . It has a grey pallet that is accompanied by a haunting score and it takes you into Diana's world of being trapped into the royal family.
It looks stunning without being beautiful Director Pablo Larrain has made a film that grabs you by the throat and won't let go .
Not until the final scene where you see Diana and the children driving away , do you feel the release but knowing what happens only a year or two later , it's only fleeting .
There are some great performances from Timothy Spall and Sean Harris but this is all about Kristen Stewart .
She embodies the spirit of Diana and opens her heart to the audience .
A stunning display and I hope it gets the awards it obviously deserves .
Highly Recommended.
