“Every fairy tale ends.”
Drama
During her Christmas holidays with the royal family at the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England, Diana decides to leave her marriage to Prince Charles.
VIBE
Spencer is a claustrophobic, dreamlike descent into a mind on the brink. It feels like a gilded cage, a psychological pressure cooker rendered with exquisite, almost ghostly beauty. The film is an unsettling, melancholic character study, exploring the weight of expectation and the yearning for liberation within a suffocating world.
