Bravo

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2007)

The death of Diana was handled with impeccable taste; very moving but not intrusive. My only criticism was the choice of Alex Jennings as Prince Charles. He didn't look or sound like Charles and I found him to be completely distracting. On the other hand, the use of archival footage to represent Diana's life was brilliant; no actress has yet been able to capture her charisma and beauty.
James Cromwell's Prince Philip was cold and very unsympathetic - much like the prince himself. Diana's sons are rarely shown in the movie, which I find very respectful toward their grief. All in all, a superb effort.
