Knowing this will not fully prepare you for what you\u2019re about to watch. Larra\u00edn\u2019s vision is full of dream sequences, internal and externalized pain, metaphor-heavy dialogue and Kristen Stewart brooding sensationally under various hats and Diana\u2019s signature short bob haircut. The movie aims to place the audience in its heroine\u2019s state of mind as much as it wants to capture the sense of time of the early &#8217;90s and that point in the royal relationship when things begin to disintegrate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>Written by Steven Knight, \u201cSpencer\u201d greets its audience with a word: \u201cA fable from a true tragedy,\u201d setting the tone that what we\u2019re about to see is more fiction than fact. Princess Diana (Stewart) is late to the beginning of holiday festivities. She gets lost in the area where she grew up as neighbors to the royal family, a symbol of how\u00a0she\u2019s lost parts of herself over the years trying to live up to expectations. Once on royal grounds, she\u2019s greeted by a stern-faced former military officer (Timothy Spall), who\u2019s the eyes and ears of the family. There\u2019s nothing she can do without his knowledge. Now reunited with her boys William (Jack Nielen) and Harry (Freddie Spry), Diana tries to put on a brave face even if she knows her husband Prince Charles (Jack Farthing) is having an affair. Her anxiety and depression start to get the better of her. She begins to see the ghost of Anne Boleyn (Amy Manson), the one-time wife of Henry the VIII who was beheaded so her husband could marry his mistress, as an omen for what will be done to her. Diana finds an ally among her staff in Maggie (Sally Hawkins), but even she is pulled away just when Diana needs her the most. Robbed of her privacy outside and inside the opulent estate, the walls feel as if they were closing in on Diana as she loses her grip on reality until she can break out and save herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As of late, Larra\u00edn seems fascinated by women held captive by societal cages and how they find an escape route. There was Natalie Portman\u2019s tear and bloodstained performance as the First Lady in \u201cJackie\u201d back in 2016. Then, most recently, his sexually-charged drama \u201cEma\u201d found a street dancer breaking with convention, polite society and her choreographer turned controlling romantic partner. \u201cSpencer\u201d shares a lot with \u201cJackie,\u201d namely the stifling demands made on famous women in designer clothes and grand homes. They may <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear to the outside world as having it all, but the reality is much sadder: their cages are gilded, but still a cage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The latest addition to that cage is Kristen Stewart as a moody Diana, a performance that will likely be divisive among the princess\u2019 defenders. The accent feels hit or miss, as do some of her actions. At times, it feels as if the movie reduces her to a childish state, throwing a fit after being denied her choices to do much else. Knight\u2019s dialogue may be at times blunt and surface-level, and too often\u00a0doesn\u2019t give Stewart enough much room for nuance. Much of her performance can be described as a doomed brooding or a royal \u201cMelancholia,\u201d unable to pull herself out of that state until she finds a way out of the royals\u2019 clutches.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>Larra\u00edn\u2019s vision isn\u2019t a straightforward interpretation of the princess\u2019s displeasure with traditions and holiday pageantry. There are\u00a0sequences with Anne Boleyn that come across pretty heavy-handed, but perhaps the audience\u2019s first hint that this is not your typical biopic is during the first dinner, when a displeased Diana is sickened by the pearls she\u2019s forced to wear by her husband\u2014a set of pearls she knows was also given to his mistress\u2014she snaps the necklace, sending the pearls all around her, including into her pea soup. Then she proceeds to eat one of the pearls, cracking them painfully with her teeth before the next shot of her running away in pain. Now, the imagined eating of the pearls can be interpreted a number of ways, but the pain of suffering through a dinner with her cheating husband across the table does physically affect her. The blending of her anguish, real and imagined, is intended to keep the audience uneasy and it succeeds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In order to immerse the audience in Diana\u2019s dissolving mental state, Larra\u00edn enlisted composer Jonny Greenwood to create the increasingly unnerving soundtrack, which includes everything from high-pitched strings to the clinking of glass chimes, to demonstrate Diana\u2019s overwhelming experience. Cinematographer extraordinaire Claire Mathon (\u201cPortrait of a Lady on Fire,\u201d \u201cAtlantics\u201d) recreates a somewhat-faded look of photographs from the era, visually matching the scenery and costumes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Near the end of the movie, a fashion flashback revisits Diana in earlier days of her youth, in some of her most famous outfits, like her wedding gown. This sequence happens after having been denied going back to her childhood home. She goes anyway and looks at the ruins of her lost girlhood. It is a dizzying moment Larra\u00edn creates with Mathon to look like a fashion shoot out of a cadre of outfits designed by Jacqueline Durran. Guy Hendrix Dyas\u2019s production design of the royal\u2019s holiday home is the most literal interpretation of Larra\u00edn\u2019s idea of a gilded cage. It is rich in detail and steeped in grandiosity. Yet when Diana and her boys complain it\u2019s cold, no one dares turn the heat up to accommodate their requests. It\u2019s just another metaphor in this decadent fairy tale inspired by the public\u2019s ongoing fascination with a woman who never had much time in life to enjoy her days outside of her gilded cage.<\/p>\n<p><em>This review was filed in conjunction with the Telluride Film Festival.<\/em>\u00a0<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Monica Castillo\" src=\"https:\/\/static.rogerebert.com\/uploads\/user\/primary_image\/monica-castillo\/featured_Monica-9254.jpg\" title=\"Monica Castillo\"><\/img><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><figcaption>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monica_Castillo\"><\/span>Monica Castillo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Monica Castillo is a freelance writer and University of Southern California Annenberg graduate film critic fellow.
