Kristen Stewart is totally attractive in the title role. She has a goofy, polite act like Diana, and that’s exactly what it should be when you consider that Diana herself did a goofy and polite act herself, embellishing her innate elegance with shavings of studied flirtation. When she collapsed she lost her balance, it was like looking at a perfect woman who is actually imperfect. But Stewart effectively captures the agony of a woman so programmed and isolated that she feels she has no escape and has lost sight of who she is.

Not only is her performance a completely transformative feat of mimicry, though she paid special attention to Diana’s posture and pose, in particular. Instead, it’s an ironic and empathetic evocation of a woman somehow stuck in her inner and outer life, frozen in the hallway – before running to the fire escape.
