It doesnt take away from the noble intent, but intent doesnt always match full execution.

Kiet cant maintain momentum and Lustig & Thorntons script just isnt creative enough to fill in the gaps.
Rogerebert
4.5
A serious documentary, not royal baiting frippery. It approaches Diana not as an effervescing work of cultural and emotional whimsy but a historical f ..
The Times

Filmmaker Ed Perkins assembles this without overt messaging, although the point is unnervingly clear.
Shadows On The Wall

This documentary is more satisfying than Pablo Larrans overheated and essentially credulous fiction fantasy Spencer, amusingly acted by Kristen Stewar ..
The Guardian

Clearly, the classic genre that galvanizes Kiet and the screenwriters Ben Lustig and Jake Thornton doesnt hark back to ye olde European fairy tales bu ..
The New York Times
5.0
His laboured jokes dont translate; his comic timing, under pressure, falls apart.
Standard
4.5
The Legend of Molly Johnson is too ploddingly paced and too visually bland to stand with the great movie westerns American or Australian.
Los Angeles Times
4.5
For a film that thrusts viewers into the middle of a narrative, one never is lost as to where we are in time and what Diana is doing.
The Play List

Theres no historical revelation to the narrative, but its construction possesses a quiet, eerie grace. The sense of inevitability of our own role in m ..

For younger people, The Princess might have been a bewildering mash up of bad hats and laughably large cameras.

While well edited, the collection of clips with no context or narration ends up seeming pointless, and rather hypocritical.
Chicago Sun Times
4.0
As such, it doesnt provide any earth shattering revelations about Diana, largely because its not a film about her so much as its a film about us and o ..
Scots Man
4.5
The Princess isnt a documentary packed with exclusive news, and what it illustrates about the public is more revelatory than what it says about Diana ..
The Daily Beast
1.5
But like virtually every other actor in this film, hes grasping at straws.
The Indian Express
4.5
Being sympathetic to royalty isnt a prerequisite for feeling perturbed by The Princess.
Concrete Play Ground
3.5
Ed Perkins The Princess treads new ground by letting the images of Diana steer the storytelling.
Cultured Vultures
4.5
An addictive endeavor that shows in all its (sick) dimensions what it means to bear the weight of fame.
4.5
Or maybe the implosion of an institution steeped in problematic history proves inescapably gripping.
Hammer To Nail
4.5
Perkins doesnt overdo the story to the point where it almost becomes a dry watch.
