This "bold and immersive narrative of her life and death" has nothing new about Princess Diana's life and death. Nothing. Never seen before film footage? If so, it was totally trivia footage. I can't believe the hype about this documentary. If you were around during the Diana years and followed her life and death, don't bother getting an HBO Max subscription to watch this rehash. You will be wasting your money.
What is included is less celebrity comments and more average person on the street, or wherever they were, comments. The oddest of this being the home film of some unknown guys playing cards the night of the car accident. The TV news is on in the background, and they are commenting on it. When it is announced she died, we see the reaction of some of the guys. Whyever these guys were taping their card game that night, and however the makers of this film discovered their home movie and included it in this documentary, is totally beyond me.
But, hey, Diana was the "people's princess" and these were her people. At least both good and bad things about her life are included, such as her unsatisfiable need for press attention, even while she was denouncing the paparazzi. Watch this film if you must watch every film made about Diana. Don't watch it if you are looking for something new about her, or looking for a documentary that will glue you to the screen.
