Ramin Setoodeh Executive EditorKristen Stewart as Princess Diana? You better believe it.Judging by the rapturous response at the premiere of “Spencer” at the Venice Film Festival on Friday afternoon, the 31-year-old actor has pulled off one of the most dazzling onscreen transformations of the year.As the closing credits of the dramatic film, which bills itself as a “fable” based on true events, the Venice crowd hooted and cheering, showering Stewart with a three-minute standing ovation.Stewart looked teary-eyed at the end of the film, as she hugged director Pablo Larraín (who also directed “Jackie,” starting Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy following the assassination of JFK).In “Spencer,” Stewart plays Diana over the course of three days.

: “For those of us who have admired the talents of Kristen Stewart since she was not yet even a teenager, it is a joy to be able to share that the 31-year-old’s portrayal of Princess Diana in Pablo Larrain‘s Spencer is truly the fulfillment of her tremendous promise and will almost certainly bring her the first Oscar nomination of her career.” “There is no actress alive today who can hold a close-up like Kristen Stewart.

Ramin Setoodeh Executive EditorThe Venice crowd at the Sala Grande theater could not take their eyes off Anya Taylor-Joy during Edgar Wright’s trippy psychological thriller “Last Night in Soho.”But when the movie ended just after midnight on Saturday and the spotlight shone on the cast to receive applause from the festival attendees, as is tradition, Taylor-Joy was nowhere to be found.Had she left her own movie?Director Edgar Wright and Matt Smith applauded along with the crowd — as confusion set into the auditorium. After about a minute, Taylor-Joy (dressed in a pink Dior Haute Couture gown with a matching beret) swung open the doors to the theater’s balcony and quickly returned to her seat, to a swarm of loud applause.

‘Spencer’ Venice Film Festival Review: Kristen Stewart Finds The Private Diana In Pablo Larrain’s Superb Royal Breakup Drama

There is an especially very telling, and actually chilling scene in Spencer, Pablo Larrain’s brilliantly imagined portrait of Princess Diana (Kristen Stewart) facing the crossroads of a long dead marriage during a Christmas holiday at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate. Prince Charles (Jack Farthing), stands in an ornate room at one end of a pool table while his wife Diana, clearly miserable and almost dead in the eyes, stands far apart at the other end. They are not playing pool.

How Princess Diana’s separation-era style has been reimagined for the new Spencer film

Spencer, a new film from Jackie director Pablo Larraín about Diana, Princess of Wales, with Kristen Stewart in the title role. In a remarkably fast turnaround, it's already being prepared for release later this autumn and will premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on Friday evening.Across three days of Christmas celebrations at Sandringham in 1991, the new project will show the Princess coming to terms with the end of her marriage, and all prospects of her ever becoming Queen. It’s a realisation which, in the early ‘90s, played out in the public eye as the Wales’ relationship grew increasingly fractious.

‘Spencer’ Review: Kristen Stewart Transforms in Pablo Larraín’s Masterly Princess Diana Movie

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic“Spencer,” Pablo Larraín’s magnificent movie about Princess Diana and how she freed herself from the life she chose, the life that made her a star, and the life that was killing her, opens with a sequence that’s staged, with a deadpan wink, to look like a thriller. At the Sandringham Estate, a preposterously large six-story country mansion that stands on 20,000 acres of the Norfolk Coast, a military convoy arrives, toting crates that look like they must contain oversize weapons.
