Another day, another Diana but sorry, Kristen, I just don't buy this: BRIAN VINER reviews Spencer

Daily Mail  

Spencer Rating: Verdict: A screech of republicanism Eternals Verdict: Seems to last for ever Rating: The captivating Netflix series The Crown has set a high bar for all screen dramatisations of the royal soap opera, a bar that Spencer regrettably fails to reach. In truth, Kristen Stewart does a fine job, nailing the breathy voice and Sloaney accent Kristen Stewart plays Princess Diana as a gibbering, dysfunctional wreck, while Jack Farthing gives us a Prince Charles so callous and cold that he could offer your average Nazi commandant a run for his Deutsche Marks. The film is at its sweetest when showing us Diana's warm embrace of motherhood, and in truth Stewart does a fine job, nailing the breathy voice and Sloaney accent. It's a documentary called Men Who Sing and it's a real charmer, made with manifest devotion by Dylan Williams, who also made a lovely film 11 years ago called Men Who Swim. Men Who Sing tells the story of friendships between old men who, apart from their weekly rehearsal, come together all too often to perform at the funerals of the latest of them to pass away That was about the camaraderie within Sweden's all-male synchronised swimming team, of which Williams was a member.
