(CNN.com Entertainment)

Kristen Stewart`s fierce, attention-grabbing work as Princess Diana really ought to be viewed independently of `Spencer,` described as `a fable from a true tragedy` that presents a pivotal weekend in Princess Diana`s split from the Royal Family. That is, it`s possible to admire the performance and still come away feeling director Pablo Larrain`s fictionalized movie doesn`t significantly add to a story many of us already know in exhaustive detail.
