Review – Spencer

Sometimes a work of art can entertain primarily based on the amount of work that went into creating it. Kristen Stewart is banking on that here. She clearly exerts a lot of effort to perfect her portrayal of Princess Diana, from the protagonist’s larger-than-life struggles with her neurodivergence and her in-laws right down to her personal tics. The result is professionally assembled and sympathetic to its lead character. But it’s also, well, effortful. Mildly amusing
