“While many of the documentaries marking the 20th anniversary of Dianau0026#39;s death have been revealing, entertaining, and a reminder of a wonderful person, this one fails for one reason: they used an actress to play Diana, which is a singularly impossible feat to perform. Acting means that one has the ability to suspend the disbelief of the audience, disbelief that they are an actor playing a role: in other words, the audience forgets theyu0026#39;re looking at an actor, and are absorbed in the tale that is being spun. That is not possible when the person youu0026#39;re playing is so famous. The same thing happens with Marilyn movies. Michelle Williams playing Marilyn?! Whoever thought that up should be fired: thereu0026#39;s not a single cell of anything in Michelle Williams that reflects MM. Same with anyone who tries to play Diana: all youu0026#39;re looking for is how wrong she is, how not Diana she is, how she doesnu0026#39;t sound, look, move like her—and the reason is that Diana was a rare creature whom no one could emulate. Same as Marilyn.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHaving got that obvious comparison/failure out the way, the content was good and yes, itu0026#39;s always good fun to watch a documentary and constantly point out how wrong the actress is for trying to play the role theyu0026#39;re playing!!”
