Galina St George

Switched it off right at the start when a woman was brutally beaten and tortured, as it didn't promise anything but more violence and graphic brutality. As if we don't have enough of it on screen already! You can't turn on a TV without seeing some kind of violence. There is usually little thought or talent in such movies - just pure brutality for cinematic thrills. I've read the mixed reviews. If you make crime/mafia movies, at least learn from the best. The shocking scenes just hide mediocrity.

Shallow, one-dimensional, boring portrayal of a complex relationship. I was surprised o learn it was Sofia Coppola's creation.

It's beyond atrocious. I hope Diana's children were advised not to watch it. The mannerisms reminded me of the Spitting Image characters. The Princess had a complex personality with a great sense of humour. Here we are seeing a hysterical and unbalanced woman who is slowly falling apart. How many times must one watch the food-gobbling and vomiting episodes to get the message that she was struggling with bulimia? Didn't we know it already? The actress, although good-looking, failed to convey Diana's captivating character and charm. She might have done a better job had she watched the many interviews with Diana. And I am not even going to talk about the actors playing the Queen, Charles and the rest of the royal family. They came across as aloof, robotic and deprived of any redeeming features. It was bad in a hypnotic kind of way - like watching a train crash in slow motion. I can see from the reviews that it was a multimillion-dollar project. It's hard to understand why decent wigs were not included in the budget.

Aesthetically pleasing but intellectually a lame duck of a movie. The concept of death experiencing the life of a human it is bound to take could have been explored with much more depth. The actors were great and did their best. However, the mannerisms of the female lead were cringy. Susan was a character whose beauty was not enhanced by an interesting personality. The actress tried to compensate for it with the play of her striking eyes but this was coming across as annoyingly unnatural. The ending was mushy. It's ok to watch before bedtime when you don't feel like too much mental stimulation. I am giving it 3 stars because despite lacking depth, it was mildly entertaining.

Beautiful haunting drama, amazing actors doing their best. What a powerful trio of Annette Benning, Ed Harris and Robin Williams working in harmony with each other. I have watched it several times and it's still a treat.

Boring, embarrassing, cringeworthy. None of the actors even remotely resemble the people they play - in appearance or mannerisms. Do the royals have no substitute for "darling"? What a disaster...

Even Sean Young couldn't save this disaster of a movie. Appalling storyline, abysmal acting throughout - if it can be called acting...

I'd give it -5 stars if I could. Can one sink any lower than to accompany a murder of a child with racy comedy music?
