Diana-2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director Oliver Hirschbiegel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starring Naomi Watts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott’s Review #63<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"70291112\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewed June 24, 2014<\/p>\n

Grade: C+<\/strong><\/p>\n

Assuming all the details of Diana (2013) are accurate, this film offers an interesting account of Princess Diana’s last two years of life and her transition from married royalty to a single woman, all while remaining the most famous woman on earth.<\/p>\n

While the film is interesting, I felt something was missing, and it was not as gripping as I had hoped.<\/p>\n

I also did not quite buy Naomi Watts as Diana. Her mannerisms were off to me, and the real Diana was taller.<\/p>\n

Also, I didn’t quite believe that Diana could throw on a brown wig and walk freely around London unrecognized.<\/p>\n

There was no chemistry between Watts and Naveen Andrews (TV’s Lost), who played a successful heart surgeon with whom Diana begins a romance.<\/p>\n

These criticisms do not mean the film was a total failure (there was a sincere likability and charisma that Watts brought to the role), but it was not as good as one would have hoped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
