The Princess - Reviews

Cooper and Kurylenko as the punk-styled baddies are fun, and the film's medieval set is memorable.

Stripping down the story to just the action is a thrilling concept that fully engages with the idea of the Princess saving herself. All in all, The Princess is a bloody good time.

This documentary film is a remarkable glimpse of the relationship between the subject, the media, and their audience.

Fans of The Crown and Spencer are sure going to love this piece. And, in case, you are not, you should still stream this documentary to understand how relevantly the themes of the story strike in the present world we live in.

...a carnival of grotesquery in which the media, the public and the royal family all look as sordid and twisted as each other.

...the film serves as an accusatory finger pointed at public appetites and the press that fed them, and a cautionary tale.

It is captivating and agonising all over again to see how dazzling Diana was...

Watching King express her apparently latent fierce side is a discombobulating joy.

While there are no new revelations, The Princess captures a period of recent history about one of the 20th-century's most iconic figures.

... takes us on a journey through Princess Diana’s life on film, with no added contextualizing text or talking heads. The media footage speaks for itself, as do Princess Diana and Prince Charles themselves....

Ed Perkins' remarkable film eschews many of the trappings we've come to associate with the modern documentary, and is all the better for it.

Man overværer med en blanding af fascination, skam og en stigende fornemmelse af at blive kvalt.

...som berättelse är det också en sådan som fortfarande engagerar och berör i princip hur den än berättas. 

Det är vi som skapar personkulter kring kändisar. Vi skadar de vi beundrar. Insikten lämnar en mållös när filmen är över.

Allting pekar i en tydlig riktning. Diana utnyttjades och kastades sedan under bussen...

Världens ensammaste prinsessa i skickligt framklippt arkivfilmsdokumentär.
