Although I never met Diana personally, I felt Naomi Watts' portrayal of the princess to be near perfect. She got the moves, the accent and the style down to a tee.
Where the film fell flat is that the storyline was quite frankly pointless.
The main plot sits around her relationship with Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan, which in real life was very private and his family refused to cooperate with the film (as admitted in the end credits)...so that begs the question of how accurate are their private scenes?
There was more to Diana than the last part of her life, what we need is a biopic showing a fuller picture even if it only starts at her engagement.
It frustrates me they wasted an excellent portrayal of Diana on such a weak storyline. I had high hopes and they were dashed.
