The film 'Diana', starring Naomi Watts, has received overwhelmingly negative reviews, with some countries opting for a direct-to-DVD release. The film focuses on Diana's relationship with Dr. Hasnat Khan, but critics find the portrayal of Diana to be inaccurate and poorly acted. The film is criticized for its simplistic plot, weak dialogue, and overall lackluster direction.
Diana ? What should have been this year's version of The Iron Lady has been tarred and feathered by early reviews, with some parts of the world cutting short the cinema run, or cutting it out completely, in lieu of a much cheaper direct-to-DVD release. But can it really be all that bad? Unfortunately, yes.
Focusing on the part of her life that begins at the tail-end of her marriage to Prince Charles , we meet Princess Diana right before she meets Dr. Hasnat Khan , and they promptly fall in love. However, with Diana constantly in the public light, Khan sees their relationship presenting a potential problem for his career as a surgeon.
Yes, this is pretty much a carbon copy of the plot of Notting Hill, except that Julia Robert's superstar has been replaced by what appears to be a borderline psychotic member of the royal family. Too often she comes across as a spoiled, bi-polar harpy with some severe boundary issues.
Andrews comes off even worse, dealt the short straw with some of the worst dialogue ever committed to the big screen , and while Hirschbiegel manages to include some genuinely impressive cinematography, he directs the whole movie like it's two shades away from being a Fatal Attraction-type horror. Considering the breadth and depth of Diana’s actual life, this movie isn't just bad, it's unusually bad. The kind of bad you almost want to recommend people to watch, so you can talk about it afterwards. Almost.Naomi Ellen Watts is a British actress.
