News: Kristen Stewart got a 3-min standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival

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.

News: New Movie Poster for 'Spencer' Released

The upcoming movie based on the life of Princess Diana has a new movie poster and OMG just look at it.

Yes that is Kristen Stewart in the image.

The amount of drama and history this one image conjures is electrifying, and I never even followed the royals much. Princess Diana was different though. Her story endures because she endured so much just to live her life.

Look at that expression. You can’t tell me that’s not perfect execution.

Also, It doesn’t hurt that Kristen Stewart is playing her in the movie. Stewart is one of the better actors of her generation and if anyone can breathe the right kind of life back into Diana’s suppressed sadness, it’d be her. I get pushback every time I rave about Stewart but no one will convince me otherwise. Go watch Clouds of Sils Maria if you don’t believe me.

Look for Spencer starting November 5.
