In interviews Watts has claimed that she felt Diana had granted “permission” to play her in this uncomfortably amusing mess of a biopic that means well but doesn’t quite hit the mark (or any mark for that matter). Perhaps Watts should have spent less time performing séances and more time distancing herself from such a tragic script.”
