The praise was for Stewart’s portrayal of Princess Diana. Her work in Spencer is being described as, “incandescent, a career best” and critics are already calling her an Oscar frontrunner.
Spencer is based on three days in the life of Princess Diana. The bulk of the story revolves around the breakup of Charles and Diana’s troubled marriage. Stewart’s nuanced approach was made for this role and vice versa it seems. I cannot wait to see for myself.
Turns out the naysayers (who insist on sticking to this tired narrative that Stewart is a one-note actor with limited scope) don’t know what they’re talking about.
