Review of Spencer (2021) by Brengeltiger — 08 Nov 2021
I can handle a slow-paced film. What I can't handle is boring.
Boring, boring, boring movie. Irritating soundtrack that thinks being blaring loud makes your movie more dramatic. Shots of people walking or driving that don't spare you one second of the slogging because this movie needed to be two hours long for some reason. The supporting cast all talk like lobotomy patients. Everything is just so drab and grey and dull to look at. But then at the end when she's happy ohhhh everything's so colourful oh goodness gracious singing pop songs in the car happy day visual symbolism mhmmm great cinematography :).
Folks are saying Kristen Stewart did a fantastic job. I guess talkinginhushedtonesreallyfastandtersely constitutes good acting. The trouble is the whole movie makes Princess Diana's plight seem pointless because she could just **** LEAVE.
AT ANY TIME, APPARENTLY.
Am I missing something? In a thematic sense, maybe. But in a literal sense, I missed, like, a quarter of the movie because it put me to goddamn sleep in the theatre.
Like, I don't care if the movie's about Diana's depression, there have to be better ways to get your point across than making me want to off myself.
Costumes were nice, at least.
