Spencer - Reviews

...Stewart effectively captures the agony of a woman so programmed and insulated that she feels she has no escape and has lost sight of who she is.

This an enjoyably strange spectacle...

...dances between ethereal ghost story, arch social satire and no-holds-barred psychodrama, while remaining at heart a paean to motherhood.

...Kristen Stewart gets under the skin of one of the world’s most famous women, at once transformative but never feeling like an impersonation.

...Stewart gives one of the best performances of her career so far as this highly subjective version of Diana.

...won’t please staunch royalists, but Larraín and Stewart have succeeded in presenting a fresh and perhaps enlightening impression of one of the 20th century’s most dissected figures.

Kristen Stewart is masterful as Diana in this thrillingly gutsy, seductive film.

Stewart reaches haunting piquancy.

Kristen Stewart plays the troubled princess to perfection...

Co-fabulists Pablo Larraín and writer Steven Knight have made a film that marries the former’s elliptical, experimental style with the latter’s penchant for alternative histories stuffed with archetypes.

Kristen Stewart speaks softly but says so much as a princess in despair.

...powerful and enticing portrayal of one of the world's most talked about women.

...väl iscensatt i en detaljerad och snygg produktionsdesign, och ett sensibelt foto med ett stundtals kort skärpedjup som accentuerar huvudpersonens mentala isolering.

Vi vet alla svaret eftersom vi hört sagan förut. Vad vi däremot inte sett tidigare är Diana som juvenil barnkvinna full av manér, som inte kan passa tider och som tar sovmorgnar från plikterna.

Kristen Stewart gör sitt livs roll i ”Spencer”, och överglänser till och med alla de vackra kostymerna.
