Spencer (2021)

If you still think of Kristen Stewart as that bad actress from the Twilight films, you won’t even recognize her in Spencer. She gives a stunning performance in a film full of complicated emotions.

Inspired by real people, this fictional tale begins on December 24th, 1992. Diana, Princess of Wales (Stewart) upsets the British royal family by arriving at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate alone. As she attempts to abide by the exhausting Christmas traditions imposed upon her by the family’s long history, she struggles with her mental state and uncertain future.

All little girls dream of becoming princesses. Many films have shown us that being a big deal isn’t what you dream it is but none quite like this. Diana’s husband, Prince Charles (Jack Farthing) is having an affair. Going through a marital crisis on a normal day would be difficult but Diana's circumstances make it particularly hard. Ideally, Christmas is a joyous occasion whose sanctity shouldn't be spoiled by bad news but there’s no joy here. This holiday in Norfolk is cold and uncaring. It’s all about what outfits you’re scheduled to wear, how little of a fuss you can make, how few pictures the paparazzi snap of you. The royal family pretend like they aren’t people; like they just happen to live among. Diana knows first-hand that princes aren’t inherently wonderful, that "royal" means nothing.

The extent of the family's self-importance and cruelty is illustrated via the giant portrait of King Henry VIII hung up like he's the patron saint of happy marriages. Henry VIII grew tired of his second wife and had her executed. Everyone knows that, but he's still up there. As such, Diana feels a kinship with Anne Boleyn (Amy Manson), whose “ghost” "haunts" the building. What happens to her if she tries to leave the family?

With few opportunities to confide in anyone, Diana has few ways to express the unhappiness she feels out loud. This is where Kristen Stewart’s performance comes in. She’s so good at communicating the uncertainty, stress, sadness, outrage, dissatisfaction, and despair Diana feels. Then, there are these little scenes where we get to see her smile. The "Diana, Princess of Wales" disappears and the "Diana Spencer" comes back. The moments of joy with her children (played by Jack Nielen and Freddie Spry) are particularly emotional. Diana knows what it’s like to grow up normal. Her children do not. Her past, their future, the uncertainty of her marriage, her place in the royal family are all converging. It feels like it’s too much to handle. She imagines what it would be like to just quit everything. If you didn’t “get” why Prince Harry (The real person) decided to step away from the royal family, why the idea of kings and queens is out of date in 2021, this film shows you.

Spencer isn’t satisfied with a traditional exploration of its protagonist. Director Pablo Larrain uses dreams/hallucinations and quiet shots to show us what the character feels rather than spell it out. It’s a good thing Kristen Stewart (who is sure to get all sorts of nominations and awards) is up to the task. For her alone, the film is worth seeing.

Thoughts : The Lost Daughter (2021)

Dagmara Domińczyk

It’s a special thing to see an actor take their years of experience in front of the camera, working with multiple directors and generally building a body of work, all to eventually turn things around and contribute to the canon of film by taking a crack at things from the director’s chair.  Be it the likes of Clint Eastwood, George Clooney, Robin Wright, Regina King, Jordan Peele, Jonah Hill, John Krasinski, Bo Burnham, Greta Gerwig or any other countless number of names I’m forgetting, the results are almost always interesting, and now we have been blessed with the pleasure of adding a new name to this list : Maggie Gyllenhaal.  Thought her acting career is likely far from over, a handful of production credits over the past couple of years has led to her 2021 feature film debut in a writing/directing role, The Lost Daughter, an adaptation of the 2006 Elena Ferrante novel of the same name.

Maggie Gyllenhaal sets the table for her film by placing Leda (her protagonist) in a vacation situation, a locale and travel selection that is primarily done for celebration, escapism and relaxation.  Rather than dwell in these realms, however, Gyllenhaal subverts expectations by turning the vacation scenario into a realm of isolation, self-reflective regret and the need to come to terms with the past.  While most people vacation to relax, we find Leda doing just the opposite as she sits alone observing, avoids intimacy when she isn’t struggling within the midst of it and navigating through a number of conversational landmines with strangers.  Through this, it is implied that Leda struggles with showing restraint and with her perceived judgement of others, even when she is acutely aware of the collateral damage that can be found in the wake of these things.  Her ruminations on her self-image in relation to how the remainder of the world perceives her are not only displayed through her interactions with the male gaze, but through her own constant dwelling in her memories as the now reminds her of her shortfalls in the past.  What we are ultimately left with is a dose of tough self-love that grows squarely from Leda coming face to face with the reality that she is a bad mother and less than ideal wife, and we are asked to walk with her through the process of accepting this and learning to still grow.

While probably not intended, it is interesting to take this film in knowing that it was written and directed by an American telling a story about a British woman vacationing in Greece, with the antagonist role being largely filled by either Italian or Latin-based (forgive my ignorance) characters.  We are lead to believe that the cultural observations, clashes and differences of opinions that arise from this scenario would send all parties involved running from common ground, and yet, once Leda’s darkness begins to rise to the surface based on remembrances caused by her interactions with Nina and Callie, common ground suddenly begins to have a deeply magnetic pull to the cadre of women struggling with motherhood.  This juxtaposition creates a handful of interesting narrative mysteries we get to watch unfold, with issues like cultural misunderstandings, wrong foot encounters and deep personal reflection all serving as the basis for said mysteries.  With the specter of post-traumatic stress lingering in the midst of the shadows threatening to present itself as viewers gain a deeper narrative understanding, we find ourselves waiting for the symbolic other shoe to drop in regard to Leda’s life and spirit, not to mention her ability to reconcile with the children she clearly damaged.

In terms of technical aspects, the most immediately recognizable touch is how dark, moody and deeply dramatic the lightning choices can be for the film... while the sun tends to bring all things to light (no pun intended), anything that doesn’t take place under its watchful eye is absolutely drowned in shadows and darkness, creating a “tension in paradise” scenario.  The cinematography enhances these feelings by making sure to stay the course in terms of illustrating the isolation, separatist feelings and standoffish nature of interaction, as communicating adults almost never share a frame when the moments are explicitly tender.  For a dramatic, slice of life film, the sound design is surprisingly deeply immersive, with the insects, sound of water and nature all making their presence continually known while Leda moves cautiously through her vacation paradise.  Musically, a back and forth between a jazz-based score and symphonic one do wonders for mood-setting and tone, while the diegetic sound is infectious Latin music.  Overall, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directing is full of the patience and observant nature that normally comes from a veteran director, with her pacing relying heavily on individual moments that unveil larger truths rather than standard exposition dumps. 

Olivia Colman has received the lion’s share of praise connected to this film, and it is certainly apparent why, as she is able to make the regrets and what-ifs that come with reflecting on parenthood and make even the ugliest parts feel at least somewhat appealing through her calmness and resolve.  Perhaps it’s the chronologically reverse foundation that Colman lays that enhances Jessie Buckley’s shared performance as Leda... all of the peaceful acceptance shown by Colman makes the panic, frustration, stress and regret that Buckley exudes hit that much harder.  Interestingly enough, a similar parallel dynamic exists between Dagmara Domińczyk and Dakota Johnson, with Domińczyk mirroring present day Colman and Johnson directly reminding present day Colman of her younger child-raising experience.  A base level tension Domińczyk and Johnson full of sisterly jealousy and negative history as well.  Ed Harris and Paul Mescal provide Colman with tension-filled distractions based on their different ways of communicating their attractiveness, while serving the dual role of being harbingers of doom in regard to Leda’s interactions with Nina and Callie.  Peter Sarsgaard helps bring the frustration of young Leda to life through his carefree spirit and implied recklessness, which stands starkly in the face of Leda’s need for peace and order from kids that, inherently, cannot meet and fulfill her desires.  A large supporting cast brings the rest of the world to life, with highlights including performances by Jack Farthing, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Robyn Elwell, Ellie Blake, Alba Rohrwacher, Nikos Poursanidis, Alexandros Mylonas and more.

While it feels that I have shared much about this film, to go any deeper into what makes this film so strong would be to do anyone interested in having an unfiltered experience with it an injustice.  It is crystal clear that Maggie Gyllenhaal is attempting to make a timeless film, and for my money’s worth, she does any amazing job doing so, which is even more impressive considering this is her directorial and writing debut (as mentioned several times before).  In a different year, The Lost Daughter would certainly stand to make a good showing during awards season, but the competition this year is amazingly stiff.  That being said, don’t be surprised if The Lost Daughter does manage to walk away with one or two awards.

Dating George Warleggan would include...

- You trying to reassure him whenever he loses control of his emotions.

- promising to him he’s the only one you care for.

- promising on the Bible because you know he is incredibly jealous and really hard to convince.

- Him giving you gifts almost every day.

- you telling him to stop because you don’t think you deserve it, and his love is enough.

- him continuing to spoil you anyway because he simply can.

- and mostly because he wants to, but he won’t admit it clearly.

- Him being absolutely delighted when he learns you’re with child.

- him making sure you’re always in good health, eating well, sleeping enough, from the moment he learns it, until forever because he grows even more attached to you as the months go by.

- Him being too shy (and proud) to admit he is deeply in love with you.

- Him calling you “My Darling”.

- Him being immensely proud of you.

- and him saying it to you every evening, when you go to bed.

- Him telling you not to dance with anyone at parties, except him.

- but he’s not found of dancing so you don’t dance at all and end up sad.

- him taking you outside to ask you what’s wrong, and when he realizes his mistake, he hugs you tightly and kisses your forehead.

- “I beg you to forgive me. We will go back inside and I will dance with you for the rest of the night, if that is what you wish, my Love.“
