    Spencer

    ★★★

    It is December 1991, and the focus is on the unraveling of the marriage between Diana, Princess of Wales and Charles, Prince of Wales. The film focuses on the demise of their marriage, and Lady Diana becoming undone. However,  it takes “Spencer” a great length of time to accelerate.

    Despite many reservations from the general public about the casting of Nicole Kidman as Lucille Ball, it turns out, she proves they were mistaken. This proves to be one of Nicole Kidman’s finest performances, in a career that spans over four decades! From the dialect, to Lucy’s razor sharp exterior, especially when dealing with the white male Hollywood execs, to her walk and mannerisms,
    Nicole grabs hold of Lucy’s persona and doesn’t let go! You can’t take your eyes off…
