SPENCER
Recommended. British through and through and superbly acted. Kristen Stewart manages the task and so do Jack Farthing as Prince Charles, Emma Darwall-Smith as Camilla Parker Bowles, and Sally Hawkins, Timothy Spall and John Keogh as servants. Add the celebration of each costume and each meal. The royals do live well. But Diana - it's based on actual events, only with certain dramatisations - feels like in a gilded cage. As much as she would love to spare the pheasants, she hopes to spare herself. When the royals feel circled by the press, she feels watched by them - the pearl necklace dinner stands out, the gazes are superbly shot. Her loneliness in the world of tradition and form couldn't manifest itself better. Even the cinematography reflects the 80s. The 1986 song "All I Need Is A Miracle" by Mike and the Mechanics says it all.
