Balanced and well acted - Recommended

Rating: 7/10 (16 September 2006)

Was very keen to see this film, especially because of the Diana connection. It started off quick and got straight to the point.
The thing I liked about the film was the balance. Just when I thought it was being biased it clicked back in and showed the other side. In fact the only one to come off looking like a git was Phil the Greek, the Queens hubby.
The PM and the Queen were acted very well and must be rewarded with professional acknowledgement. Charles however was a little miscast and understated.
The historical clicks and drama had women in the cinema crying so it was good to see that Diana still has it in her to tug at the heart strings.
Not a Hollywood blockbuster but just a nice film, which makes a nice change in this era of CGI and poor scripts.
Recommended.
