Pablo Larraín's film portrays a frenzied, haunted woman disintegrating before our eyes - it is a mesmerising triumph.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 10, 2024

If this is a ‘fable from a true tragedy’, the way Larrain harnesses that tragedy ends up being just another way to define Diana as a victim.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 23, 2024

The protagonist is Diana Spencer like her life, this story does not represent a traditional biopic. The proposal of this “fable of a real tragedy” is to unmask that idyllically called “fairy tale” whose paradigm changed from Diana's experience...

| Original Score: 9/10 | Aug 18, 2024

Stewart’s performance is a staggering one that does so much more than merely replicate the looks and mannerisms of her historical icon.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 15, 2024

Spencer is a spectacular, rare kind of biopic that portrays its main subject as more fully-fledged than ever before.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 15, 2024

It is like Ridley Scott’s most recent films in which we get to congratulate ourselves for having a single advantage over those who have it better than us in numerous ways, but more textured for the way that it explores mental health

Containing one of my favorite scenes of the entire year with the ‘soldier game’ and a masterclass in numerous aspects of filmmaking, including score and cinematography, this is one I will continue to go back to time and time again.

Pablo Larraín takes an outsider's view of an iconic public figure and gracefully shatters any illusion of what the public thinks of them.

| Feb 13, 2024

Kristen Stewart disappears into her role as Diana, Princess of Wales, during a tense Christmas weekend in the early 1990s. Don't expect fireworks or theatrics — or much in the way of closure — but instead a subtle and effective character study.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 16, 2023

Heartened by a career-defining turn by Kristen Stewart, Spencer shows the ephemerality of grandeur, the rigidity of aristocracy, and the enduring humanity of Diana.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 18, 2023

a thoroughly impressive, unforgettable character study that will surprise you and break your heart with the universality of its themes, and that you’ll find yourself revisiting time and time again.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 8, 2023

Kristen Stewart’s CAREER DEFINING PERFORMANCE! Haunting, claustrophobic, intimate, personal, tragic, & all around one of the most unique experiences I’ve seen all year

| Jul 26, 2023

This recent addition to the Dianassance is a refresh and should be used as a map for future biopics.

| Jul 26, 2023

Princess Di, it’s overstated, was like a beautiful bird trapped in a gilded cage – a pheasant, to be exact. Pheasants are shown adorning the tapestry above her bed, hunted for sport, and escaping shotgun blasts only to end up roadkill (!!!).

| Jul 25, 2023

Larrain exceeds expectations, as he experiments with surreal narrative elements and ultimately gives us a striking Diana story that we’ve never seen before.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2023

Spencer is a horror movie with a twist. This film has the audience root for all of the aspects of horror movies they’re usually yelling at the characters to ignore.

| Jul 25, 2023

Spencer is about generalizing queerness and about showing how LGBT people are not the only ones in closets. But it’s also careful not to push actual LGBT people back into that windowless room while appropriating their experiences.

| May 7, 2023

Spencer reaches levels of haunting piquancy and has a performance from Kristen Stewart the encompasses mind, body, and soul.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 21, 2022

This unusual film might not be to everyone’s taste, but it was anything but dull.

| Sep 2, 2022

This is the most mature of Stewart's performances to date.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 10, 2022
