Spencer is the new movie about Diana of Wales, Lady Di or Princess Diana. Although it is considered a biographical drama, this is not the case. It is not a true story of Diana's life, but it could have been, it is about living a few days of Diana's daily life. Specifically 3 days during one of the royal family's Christmases. It is directed by Pablo Larraín and written by Steven Knight. Starring the talented Kristen Stewart as Diana, with Timothy Spall, Jack Farthing, Sean Harris and Sally Hawkins making up the rest of the main cast.

The story of Lady Di touched a certain generation closely, I was a child and I was shocked by her death. One of the most influential people of the 20th century, a positive figure in a chaotic royal house. The film will put Diana's lonely and stressful life into context. Kristen's performance is wonderful. Contrary to what many think she is an incredible actress. From the accent, to the way of walking, the dialogues in whispers. One of the things that I liked the most was the parallelism with the life of Ana Bolena, who we remember had her head cut off claiming that she had been unfaithful. The story made it clear that the King wanted to get rid of her to marry another. There are thousands of versions of Diana's death, but this film introduces us to the daily life of the royal family. One of the scenes that I liked the most was when they weighed her when she arrived and wrote it down in a book. Then the butler explains that she has to weigh before leaving and if she did not gain more than 1 kg, it means that she did not enjoy Christmas. So your head goes crazy, what kind of happiness is that? A very cool line is when Diana tells her children that in that place there is only one tense, the past and the present are the same. A masterpiece where music accompanies in a masterful way. Without a doubt it is worth seeing. Happy New Year everyone and I wish you a prosperous year.

This is supposed to be great and is on my watch list! Is she portrayed differently in this film to how she is in tv series The Crown?
