umm........

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2007)

....I don't know. I didn't hate it or anything but film making and story telling wise there just wasn't much here IMO.
Obviously it's not a movie that calls for flashy camera work or anything like that, but there just seemed to be no energy. I know the film maker and all those involved probably put tons of energy and effort into it though, so don't take that as me saying it was poorly made. I will say that the direction probably didn't deserve an Academy Award nomination though.
Performance wise The Queen was played well from what I could tell though transforming appearances seemed to be the most impressive thing. As for the rest of the cast, there wasn't any poor acting but nothing really that stood out or anything that had a chance to stand out for that matter.
While the film did fill me in on some interesting facts that I did not know and tells a worthwhile story I'm not sure it works as a film overall. Princess Diana's death is sad, as is any persons who goes too young and I do not mean to insult her, her life, her death or anyone who loved her in any way. Just that for me personally, I'm not sure if the film accomplished what it set out to do or not and I'm not sure if it connected with me.
As I said I didn't hate it, or dread sitting through it, far from it but when all was said and done I don't know if it was as memorable as it should have been.
7/10
