Spencer (2021) is a movie about Princess Diana that was directed by
Pablo Larraín.
The film stars Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana. Timothy Spall portrays Major Alistar Gregory, who is in charge of maintaining order when the queen's family members are together.
Sally Hawkins has a major supporting role as Maggie, Princess Diana's dresser.
The film takes a very pro-Diana position. She wants to be herself, rather than adhere to the princess behavior demanded of her. The movie succeeds in making you sorry for the princess and her life.
However, the film--as in real life--doesn't explain why Diana married Charles. She wasn't a simple country lass--she was Lady Diana Spencer. Surely she knew the behavior that would be expected of her as the future queen of England.
I thought that Stewart, Spall, and Hawkins were superb. They are gifted, experienced actors, and they know how to move the movie forward.
Spencer has a low IMDb rating of 6.6. I thought that it was much better than that, and rated it 8.
