Kierre's Review of Spencer 2021 ★★★

Watched Feb 05, 2022 Spencer stars Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana, and is set in the 1990's around Christmas. The film take place over basically 3 days around the Holidays where Princess Di, her husband and her 2 boys are all visiting a Royal castle with Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the family in England. Over the 3 days we get a very vivid glimpse into what life was like for Diana being married into the Royale Family.

While I felt the acting was fantastic, I'm still debating on whether or not this is a good film overall. The film is basically a character study of Diana and we get to see how much she really didn't like being part of the family. My major issue with the film is that it so restricted in a short time period that it feels very long and becomes somewhat tedious at some people. It is like the filmmaker is beating us over the head with how unhappy she was during this time in her life. Like we get it, being part of the Royale Family isn't a Cinderella Story!
