As far as this reviewer is concerned, Spencer could have been filled with two melancholy hours of Stewart’s Diana roaming the foggy moor of the Sandringham Estate, and I would have loved every second. The fact that it contains one of the most emotionally impactful and psychologically rich stories of the year is simply a bonus. Your appreciation for this film’s glimpse into Diana’s mindset will entirely depend on what you hope to get out of a biopic. Do you want a highly accurate, meticulously researched play-by-play of the events of Diana’s life? If so, you may find yourself disappointed with Spencer. However, If you want a creative, artistic interpretation which attempts to capture the essence of Diana’s personhood, you just might fall in love with this film.
