In Detail

Spencer spotlights three days in the dissolution of Charles and Di’s marriage. Working off a sharp script by Steven Knight, Chilean director Pablo Larraín spins the headlines and scandals into a full-blown Gothic nightmare, an opulent ice palace of a movie with shades of Rebecca at the edges and a pleasing bat-squeak of absurdity in its portrayal of the royals.

If Kristen Stewart was a surprise choice for the role of Diana, it proves to be divine casting with her uncanny magnetism and her ability to mesmerize the camera even in moments of stillness.

Terrific support from Timothy Spall, Sally Hawkins and Sean Harris.
