Critics Consensus

Naomi Watts tries hard in the title role, but Diana buries her efforts under a shoddy script and clumsy direction.

Roxana Hadadi

Punch Drunk Critics

Too much of this movie feels made specifically for the movie, which goes directly against its alleged realism, and leaves the audience confused about the point of it all.

Rated: 2.5/5

Austin Chronicle

Yes, Diana is the poor little rich girl, but the opulent settings, private jets, yachts, and chauffeured cars prove peculiar and distracting affectations.

Rated: 1.5/5

Slant Magazine

Are the micro-biopics that don't even bother to provide overviews of their famed subjects' entire lives, but instead lean on the spectacle of celebrity impersonation, the new camp?

Rated: .5/4

Cultural Conversation

Diana turns out to be an enormously tedious character study which never once has the balls to go beyond its glossed-up TV movie roots.

Rated: 1/5

A film that plays like a National Enquirer exposé with better pictures.

I just wished the film was brave in its execution. It played it very safe...and it showed.

Horrible performance by Naomi Watts. I didn’t believe her portrayal of Diana in appearance (bad hairstyle, makeup and costumes), speech or attitude.

This film is absolutely brilliant! Don’t pay attention to the negativity – the storytelling is a masterful tour de force. It’s a must-see!

If you’ve seen “Spencer” that came out few years ago, that takes place before this much earlier released inferiority, simultaneously termed regarding who directed and collaborated without the supposedly acclaimed magnificence except very rarely. The focus is unbalanced and underdeveloped without any instinctual tendency to dive deep in contributing anything new to the memorable legacy, even Watts’ impressively dressed deliverance exposed how overall dullishly flawed it turned out which discouraged true embodiment. Best to proceed with caution if this still lingers in the radar as there’s nothing much to impress here. (C)

I don't know why all the hate for this movie. It's delicate, charming and very touching. Naomi made an awesome job. It's one of the best portraits of Diana I've ever seen.
