Spencer

Holy monarchy, Batman! We were absolutely blown away by this (as the film labels itself) “fable of a true tragedy”. Join us as we dive into the Kubrickian elements of this film and the ways in which the audience is supremely unsettled by Diana’s experience in the Royal Family. Kristen Stewart shines brighter than all the Crown Jewels combined, as her outstanding performance makes us question over and over what is real and what is imagined. The film features ghosts, hauntings, and characters interacting with their own preoccupations - Steven Knight was definitely wearing his Peaky Blinders hat when he wrote this script. This film challenges our modern view of the Royal Family (particularly that born from The Crown), and is a tragically, horrifically, and devastatingly beautiful portrayal of Diana Spencer.
