Diana might have been flawed and scheming and love-starved, but this film doesn't help explain that. Nor does it illuminate the common touch and humanitarian side that endeared her to a global audience.

Not a lot different from whatever movie Katherine Heigl has made lately.
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

The film can't find the woman beneath the facade, despite Watts' best efforts. Maybe she didn't exist. Or maybe there's a better movie to be made.
Tom Long, Detroit News

It's ... a pity that her life is reduced to such a forgettable movie.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten
This visually polished, Oscar-baiting docudrama chronicles her final two years, and even in death she's a subject of invasive speculation.
Drew Hunt, Chicago Reader
