Diana

Watching Diana is like watching Nascar.  You stare at some boring nonsense for two hours while waiting for a car crash.  This is a really bad movie.

The film essentially follows Diana from the onset of her post-marriage relationship with Pakistani surgeon Hasnat Khan until her death.

What to say about this movie?  It's so lifeless and dull that it's hard to find anything to say.  The film feels like a Lifetime Original Movie with better cameras.  A Lifetime movie might've been a better experience than Diana.  At least then I would've had commercials to give me a break from the film.

Naomi Watts is an incredible actress but you wouldn't know it from this movie.  Every actor comes off as if they were in a high school theater production.

Also, is this movie supposed to make the former Princess of Wales seem great or was it trying to tear down some of the "saintly" image people have of her?  If it's the latter, then Diana succeeded.  Diana Spencer, according to this film, is selfish, out of touch, entitled, and a terrible mother.

Stay away from this movie.  Diana should only be used as a non-habit forming sleep aid.  

2.5 out of 10
