Those who are curious or care about Princess Diana.
Thoughts
Well-done film. This is truly a character-driven screenplay, as not much happens plot-wise. It does not have the epic scope of a best picture nomination, but after watching, I understood why it was chosen.
While it is hard to re-live such a recent tragedy, it is worth watching because it does Diana, her death and England justice. What is remarkable is all the characters are mostly still alive and prominent in our worldwide media. I found it fascinating to watch.
Personally, I had ignored Diana's death at that time, so this was a great chance for me to relive the moment. It helped me remember and understand how much she and her death meant to the entire world. I was in tears while watching the actual footage.
What I would change
Nothing.
