"Every Fairy Tale Ends"
It is not the first time that the Chilean Pablo Larraín has made a biographical film, and it is not the first time that one of his biographical films has failed. The problem with Spencer is that, despite brilliantly casting an ever-troubled Kristen Stewart to portray the grieving Diana in one of the most difficult weeks, Steven Knight's script never quite manages to establish the plot. We have the setting, we have the characters, we have the moment, but there is no story that draws us into the movie and keeps us enthralled as the minutes go by. The most disappointing thing is that all the other elements are fine. The performances are good, the costume design by seven-time Oscar nominee Jacqueline Durran is terrific, the production design is adequate, and the soundtrack by Jonny Greenwood is terrific with its overtones of maddened jazz at the most emotionally charged moments. It is a pity that all of the above has not been taken advantage of to deliver a captivating film.

I was looking forward to watching this but in the end it was just a big disappointment. The script went around in circles without actually saying anything. I was constantly confused with the dialogue. It only focused on a Christmas holiday rather than any progression in her life and didn't do a good job at relating bits to any kind of progression. The director clearly tried to be creative with the hallucinations and the scene changing cuts and the strange flashbacks, but it didn't click or flow smoothly. Not a good portrayal in the end.

For the first hour of this film I was so excited about it possibly being my first 10/10 rating of this award season but then they had Diana say, with her full chest, that she likes middle class things like les mis, phantom of the opera and fast food, and it just lost some credibility.

Why have all the films I’ve been watching lately had such poor third acts? It’s like filmmakers run out of ideas, but have to make feature length runtime so they just repeat the same themes over and over. Luckily, the themes in this movie were strong enough to hold it together for that shaky finish line, much like Stewart’s performance and the breathtaking photography, score and costume design. Screenplay was lacking at times and Directing was just good enough to make up for it. So a 9 it is!

Personally, I think it would been better just trying to play what really happened instead of a made up movie. I struggle with that when I try to watch.

If I was Diana I would have told that major which was head butler to piss off. That family would make anyone nuts. Like a prison. And how they portray Charles he is a real jerk.

- Dude, think of a movie that polarized on an ABSURD level, but that I LOVED
- Pablo Larraín had already surprised me a lot with Jackie in 2016, but, for me, he managed to maintain the highest level in another biography of a great historical figure
- Here it's very different from Jackie, the tone of the film, despite being considered biographical, doesn't have that classic structure that we see in biopic's nowadays
- one of the best of 2021 without a doubt
- Kristen delivered absolutely everything in terms of acting!! I fell in love, I was able to feel Diana's pain up close
- IMPECCABLE SOUNDTRACK!! practically a movie apart, the cinematography is also of the gods, it's so beautiful, especially the beginning of the film and Kristen's takes as Diana
- I absolutely loved

This is not for everyone. Most people expect a salacious Netflix-type of drama but it's more of a slow paced character study of a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I really liked it. Fantastic cinematography and musical score.

Spencer is a poignant film that relays outstanding dramatic tension and an unforgettably impactful sense of poetic justice for a truly inspiring woman, it’s certainly going to maintain a firm spot as one of this year’s best films.

Another Diana biopic. One of the most media-hyped attention whores in the history of the Royal family, until Megan Markle later married one of the offspring and started competing for the title. Are we really supposed to feel sorry for these people who are knowingly marrying into a fortune made up of stolen wealth, from past enslaved colonies from around the world and British tax payers?

What the fuck is wrong with that movie?! I didn't like it at all, I was so interested to watch it because I wanted to know a lot about Diana's life and death. However, in that movie they only focused on a couple of days in her life, which I would have enjoyed, but it was so unreal for me and so disappointed. We already know about how the royal family treats people inside from the Opera talk with Harry and Megan.

I would have loved the movie more if it has the whole story until her death and the conspiracy around it. Christine Stewart acting was bad and so crazy.

@ahmedhamdy90 Judge it for what it is, not what you want it to be.

@jordyep even though, I didn't like it at all, the acting was cheap, the music was terrible, and story wise was so weak.

@ahmedhamdy90 Well, I’m willing to guarantee that both Kirsten Stewart and Johnny Greenwood (the composer) will at least get nominated for the next Oscars, and I’d say they have a pretty good shot at winning.

@ahmedhamdy90 there are tons of documentaries on her life if you want to check it out. This was more arthouse and an experience.

Beautiful movie and absolutely nauseating. Very good at making you feel as trapped and dissociative as she was feeling.

Zero biographical or historical accuracy. Diana looks and sounds like a complete mad woman. There is no plot, no story, no nothing. It’s just Kristen Stewart vibing for two hours.
