Spencer (2021)

I really dislike unreliable narration -- that feeling of "is this real or fantasy?" just frustrates me and takes me out of the story. Since this whole film relies on that off-balance feeling, I could not get into it. It's a vast improvement over Jackie, the director's earlier Oscar bait, but that's not enough to recommend it.

I do watch "The Crown," and it occurred to me that I could've been rather lost if I didn't have that show informing me here. For example, because of that show, I know that Diana suffered from bulimia -- that she wasn't simply sick from nervousness at the stress of this holiday with a group hostile to her.
