Kristen Stewart’s upcoming movie ‘Spencer’ to be released in November

A fresh take on an ancient tale: the biopic ‘Spencer’, starring Kristen Stewart as the Princess of Wales, is all set to bring Princess Diana’s life to the big screen. The much-anticipated film, which has been receiving positive reviews since its premiere earlier this month, will be released on November 5 in the United Kingdom and Ireland at the same time as it will in the United States.

Spencer encircles around the story of the late icon Princess Diana followed by the crucial time of her life when she decided to leave her husband, Prince Charles, played by Jack Farthing.

The Princess of Wales, born Lady Diana Spencer, is a worldwide icon who is recognized as an immensely compassionate human. Portraying this saintly figure came as a challenge to Stewart who mentioned how she hasn’t been this excited for a part in very long. Apart from working on the ‘intimidating’ accent, the actress made sure to do her research by reading several biographies in order to do justice to the role of Princess Diana, mother to Prince William and Prince Harry.

Several positive comments have been pouring in since the premiere of the movie. Where on one hand Stewart’s performance has been called “her most dazzling and intricate” so far, Screen Daily said the film offers “an empathetic, intelligent insight into the prison of fame and privilege”.

With all the anticipation and expectations from the audience being around, the actress stated her overwhelmed gratitude for enacting the life of a global icon. When asked how the film will depict Diana’s trauma, she stated that Spencer is a journey into an emotional portrayal of Diana at a critical juncture in her life. It’s a tangible declaration of the sum of her elements, beginning with her given name, Spencer, expressed Stewart.

Directed by Pablo Larraín, Spencer also stars Sean Harris, Sally Hawkins, and Timothy Spall.
