Diana movie review: A tepid telling of the Princess Diana tale

'It shows Diana as a mortal woman desiring companionship and the efforts she puts in to make the relationship work. It also reveals her fears and pain.'Movie: Diana; Cast: Naomi Watts, Naveen Andrews, Douglas Hodge,



Together, Naomi and Naveen struggle admirably, but appear stuttering puppets. The pair is devoid of real chemistry, even when sometimes charming. The mutual attraction is made somewhat plausible, and their love for each other is relatively convincing, even if the spark of attraction is not.

The camera work is tacky, and the shots placid. There seems to be no effort to render Naomi charming, and she falls quite flat as a representation of the woman once considered the most beautiful in the world.

Except for capturing the scenic beauty of Dover, the cinematographer has taken no trouble to capture any shots aesthetically.
