It is a film that embodies the life of Prince William (Duke of Cambridge) and Prince Harry. Both began to open up to their late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, while revealing their lives.
There's a sense that in exchange for this impressive access, the producers felt obligated to construct a film as soft and hazy as a Hallmark Channel movie, complete with the maudlin musical score.
Since this is the sort of film in which the children of the subject go through photo albums reminiscing about what they remember of their mother and their childhoods with her, don't approach Diana, Our Mother as a shocking-revelation documentary.
It makes no attempt to be a complete portrait, but rather concentrates on her goodness and good works, as a person and a public figure. There is sadness in it, but no scandal. I am good with this version.
Classy, insightful and extremely moving. Be prepared to shed a few tears because her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, speak so frankly and lovingly.
Barriers and boundaries are established and only partially torn down in this laudatory but nevertheless moving film about one of the most famous and overanalyzed women to ever breathe oxygen.
