Screen & Sound · The Lori Diaries
I went into Spencer expecting a film about Princess Diana. I came out feeling as though I'd spent two hours trying to find a way out of a beautiful house. The dresses are exquisite, the Christmas tables are perfect, and every room looks like somewhere I would love to visit. Yet almost nothing about this version of royal life feels inviting. At first, I kept waiting for the story to properly begin. By the end, I realised that the waiting, the dread, and the desperate need for a little space were the story.
