    a surreal portrait of an isolated woman haunted by the burden of the past, the present, and the future. a psychological semi-horror, an antediluvian horror, a delicate horror; a decadent, hollow-eyed specter draped in the finest of pearls. how do you know what's real when…

    I was expecting more, it was a bit disappointing, but Kristen Stewart did a good job.

    Spencer was a great film that embodied the heart of Princess Diana as the public saw her and as we suspected she was treated. Regardless of the truth presented in the film, the oppression of a free spirit was presented honestly.
