Spencer

[Opened Nov. 5 in theaters.] Stewart's Oscar-caliber performance, gorgeous costumes, and striking sets highlight Pano Larrain's captivating, factually inspired, bleak, raw, gritty, insightful, unexpected, star-studded (Timothy Spall, Sean Harris, Sally Hawkins, and Michael Epp), 111-minute biopic film that focuses on an unhappy, suicidal, self-harming Princess Diana (Kristen Stewart) during Christmas time with the cold, condescending royal family (Stella Gonet, Richard Sammel, Elizabeth Berrington, Lore Stefanak, et al.), who stuck with pomp and circumstance even behind closed doors, at Sandringham House in 1991 when she was struggling with depression, rejection, and bulimia and anorexia and finally deciding to leave Prince Charles (Jack Farthing), who is in love with his longtime love Camilla Parker Bowels (Emma Darwall-Smith), and escape with her devoted sons (Jack Nielen and Freddie Spy).
