Why i think Spencer is the best film about princess Diana
Let’s start from the very beginning. Spencer doesn’t mislead people. They stated it is a fable based on the real tragedy and it really is. It doesn’t promise to show us real events and it’s amazing because we, as an audience, don’t have false expectations.
They depicted Diana’s eating disorder and mental health issues with class and dignity. First of all, you can predict when a triggering scene will follow, and for me as a former bulimic it is awesome. Secondly, Diana is not portrayed as a crazy person but rather as a troubled woman who desperately needed help. And what’s more she overcomes her eating disorder by the end of the film and finds her peace. It gives hope for everyone struggling with all kinds of mental illnesses.
It is beautifully filmed. Each frame is a painting. Each scene is wonderfully staged. The costumes that reference the real life ones are gorgeous.
The film tries to plunge its audience into the mind of a person with mental illness. Even if you have never had any mental health related problems you will feel uneasiness and anxiety. It is highlighted by the staging. Sometimes the frame is very large and empty and Diana seems very little as to indicate her lack of confidence.
The music was great. The choice to make the whole soundtrack have classical music vibe is a good idea. And the final scene has an 80s song for the soundtrack, which is a great switch of tone and a glimpse of hope for Diana.
Overall, I adore Spencer and I encourage you to give it a chance and try to draw your own conclusions. It is fine if you hate Kristen Stewart or the whole idea in general, you have your right to have your opinion, I just want to say that in my opinion Spencer is totally worth it.

Man, does anyone remember making GIFs from the good ole days (pre-2016)?
Using pirated copies of Premiere Pro CS4 or whatever, and trying to get under whatever limit Tumblr had back then. Apparently it's 10MB now, although 15MB or 20MB feels like where it should be at.
Anyway, here's a ~9.9MB GIF of Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana in Spencer (2021).
