Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
看过《王冠》第四季，再看这部电影版，感受完全不一样。电影非常压抑，小K饰演的戴安娜不只是敏感神经质，还有幻想，偏执狂。小表情小细节非常非常多，可惜的是，三天里的戴安娜，很难让人产生共情。非常可惜
分了七八次才看完。仅代表私人觉得k演得并不多好，情绪和表演方式一直原地打转，不断单调重复，感受不到推进和变化。她用那张好看的脸反复地喊“我太压抑啦我要崩溃啦我受不了啦”，然而那更像一种青春期少女的叛逆躁动，而不是一个困在华服城堡中苦闷的王妃。片子除了k的部分都很棒，每个配角，每一个！蒂莫西、莎莉，还有王储、厨师长（波吉亚家族里的侍从!）都又稳又可信。个人最喜欢的部分，是王妃洗澡时裸身站在“四面楚歌”的老式淋浴喷头下，那喷头像一副古老、巨大的怪物骨架把她囚在里面，水柱喷射，万箭袭来，无处可逃。
作为传记电影来说剧情显得很片段，仅仅几天的时间跨度也没法很好描绘这个复杂角色。戴安娜的悲剧无疑是源自英国王室，但电影中对于英国王室实在太给面子了，只是整了一些一语双关的台词和情节内涵一下，这还不如去看一些纪录片
对于戴安娜王妃的认识仅有知道这个名字而已。其实很好奇为何王妃十年前结婚时没有抗争。导演选择三天的时间范围，就是为了不让观众去聚焦王妃的心路历程，而着重刻画她的抗争过程，而那个缺席的心路历程，则随着繁复的皇室规矩的展现得以被观众想象。相较之下，鬼魂的意象、小故事的象征等则显得过于直白且平庸。时下热点的表达也是减分项。【6.5】
配乐加分，阴森诡异的氛围，整体的如坐针毡，是让观众对戴妃的处境感同身受？
我实在是对小K喜欢不起来，演什么都是小K，皱眉耸肩，尤其是嘴部很多细微的表情，我总觉得表演痕迹好重，感觉很局促，让我坐立不安，我看到了小K你确有在努力。整个片是个Chanel服装大展，美是美得很！结尾从皇室逃出来吃KFC太喜感了！
太美了，目前最喜欢的2021电影。小k开场的处理的确用力过猛，但是整体上她把戴安娜塑造成了一个肢体畸变的怪物，感觉随时会撕开皮囊，成功把本片变成一部怪兽/恐怖片。俯冲的镜头如同尾随的幽魂，雾里白光里黑暗的宫殿里，天然的灵异场所。后半段是救赎是释然吗？一种恶趣味的自反，甜蜜下满是苦涩。不是戴安娜王妃，是一个叫斯宾塞的普通女人的三天，是《五至七时的克莱奥》里的真实时刻，是当下的情绪。
作为人物传记片，各方面都非常不错。戴安娜从高耸城堡走入平凡的街头，是从内心极度纠结到外在逐渐释放的一个过程，渴望自由，渴望平凡，渴望寻常人的苦乐，由此来说电影节奏是非常不错的，专注于斯图尔特惴惴不安的神情，紧张的踱步，以及含泪颤抖的诉说。敏感、孤独、压抑到神经质的戴安娜形象不是经过情节来展现，全部靠表演。但同时和历史影像相比，不知有意识还是无意思的表演多了一层追求“美”，带点矫饰，少了戴安娜本人的气质。影像也值得学习，有轻有重，有薄有厚，生活化场景的平面处理，戏剧化场景的影调处理，以及恰到好处的捕捉。
餐桌眼神戏最佳。小K演技较之以前确实大涨了！但是当她绷起肩膀压低嗓音时，模仿的痕迹依然浓厚。与此相对，当她暂时放下那些肢体与声音的模仿，单纯地展露情感时便又能回归自然舒服的状态。不禁思考一个问题：传记片真的一定要把演员们硬拗成那个原型吗？感觉对“形似”的过度追求有时反而将演员推离了原型。
与其说这是一个故事，不如说这是一个人的碎片。你可以看到Diana的挣扎，可以看到她的迷茫，也能看到来自曾经的她的零星闪光。
我很惊讶，像我这样的矫情逼都觉得KS的处理太矫情了，竟然短评里都是夸奖…幸亏长评还能见到不少批评的声音。KS一如所有爆红后试图证明自己演艺能力的明星一般，拼命重复自己表现某种情绪的过程，而具体方式就是不断耸起肩膀靠近脸颊…没了肩膀则演艺事业直接结束。前半段关于情绪表达不畅的错误表现方向延伸到后半段就进化成整个故事的矫情，查尔斯、女王、管家都开始说人话了，戴妃一句人话不听，情绪还在往上堆，观众的共情就完全跟不上了——最终就感觉她确实难受了但是所有「别人不让你做所以你忍得很难受」的事她全都做了。这变成作了呀。
这色调老让我觉得在看韦斯·安德森，至于内容，Crown珠玉在前。
其实我挺喜欢这种库布里克画风的，空旷而华丽的宫殿，戴妃漂亮的一切配合鬼魅丛生的配乐，诡异而美丽，所以开场看得挺爽，接着这似乎没完没了了，大概因为戴妃的事大家太清楚，于是电影只有情绪，她烦啊烦得让作为观众的我也开始烦了，是看腻的，不知道这对于一部电影来说到底是成功还是失败。小K还是做作了，不过人家很努力，也真的很美，影后就真的算了，同志还须努力。
小k好美，配乐、镜头、色调我都好喜欢，甚至还有一点韦斯安德森的感觉。
# 78 Venezia # 满分！果然这就是敢和沙丘同场竞争的霸气所在，斯图尔特值得给影后了，把身处皇室的痛苦压抑，为了自由而奋斗抗争的状态演到极致，不，这不是演，她已经和黛安娜王妃融为一体了，她叫斯宾塞
独立小k进步好大阿，或者说其实这种类型很适合她发挥。
优映这是要转型做广垫让播的片子了，挺好的，虽然带上了镣铐，舞姿依然惊艳
不同于普通传记片，这部电影只截取并展现了戴安娜一生中看似普通的三天。由始至终，影片的镜头都执拗地聚焦于那张美丽的脸庞，以及隐藏其后的那个脆弱灵魂。
太cinema了！视听和音效都超级棒，要是能在大银幕看就好了。
看完影片，联想到现实中可怜的戴安娜，我在心里默默地喊道：Run, Diana, run!
