Kristen Stewart is hauntingly brilliant as Princess Diana in ‘Spencer’
when he cast Kristen Stewart in a role as weighty and revered as Princess Diana.The Chilean’s game of royal roulette has paid off. Because Stewart, who we’ve always known is scores better than the average-to-wretched scripts she’s so frequently handed — “Twilight,” “Snow White and the Huntsman,” “Charlie’s Angels” — is haunting, playful and blisteringly human as Di at the end of her rope. Her princess is a broken woman so alive with promise and love and humor, but held back by mummified royals who only scold and sneer, and an unfeeling, slimeball husband. All she has in the world are her two boys, who worship their mum.
