“SPENCER”: THE STORY EVERYBODY WANTS TO TELL

Undoubtedly, Lady Di s persona is nothing but enigmatic - a story which is no secret

to anyone. In this line of thought, to expect a cliché-ridden style would be a colossal
mistake. “Spencer” offers an eye-opening, thought-provoking, and slightly disturbing
side of the story.

This historical psychological drama unfolds amid one particularly dreaded weekend
the princess spent with the royals. Expertly directed by Pablo Larraín, “Spencer”,
artfully depicts Lady Diana s innermost feelings, we get to unravel Diana behind that
timid, yet bewitching smile - an audience pleaser thanks to the mouth-dropping
performance by Kristen Stewart, as Princess Diana herself, whose fervently acting
makes the movie worth watching. Accompanied by the music evoking a melancholy
atmosphere, Steward managed to give the part much personality rising up to the
daunting challenge of portraying this emblematic woman.

There is a powerful scene in which Diana interacts with her sons, these sort of
unspoken secrets oat in the air, and the climax overlaps with a life-changing
decision; herewith there is a genuine feeling of down-to-earth motherhood in the midst
of a broken fairy tale, in hindsight, it is almost ironic how the story ends.

On a scale from zero to ve, I would give this movie a ve, it s a de nite must-see.
However, it s paramount to highlight it is merely an interpretation of the facts, the
historical accuracy behind it is not spot on. I highly recommend this lm to anyone
interested in delving into British history from the eyes of a Chilean outsider.
