Kristen stewart WAS the movie.
I didn't even care if her accent and mannerisms were on point. Her way of internalising Diana's emotions and subtly put them out is what blew my mind.
My only problem is the rest of the characters, not the cast, the characters... Flat.
Cinematography was amazing. Frames, movement and colors on point.
Now the story overall is a bit boring unless you only focus on Diana's states of mind throughout the whole film.

Story not so much IF u are not interested in the falling of the gucci family.
Lady gaga's performance is very good. You can't even recognise that it's her.
Adam driver not so much.
Al pacino was very good also, truly moving in the final act.
Jared leto... I Honestly do not know if that's good or bad acting (MAYBE the real Paolo was like that...) but still he needed direction, he felt out of place.
Salma was also very good with what she was given.
My only problem with this film is its tone and inconsistencies.
Overall a fun film to watch... Oh and yes gaga DESERVED a nomination!

Technically speaking, this film is good to be completely honest and fair. The real question is what else?
The story is boring. I know it's part 1, but you need to feed the audience for them to come and see part 2.
Cinematography was nice. Nothing spectacular though. Cinematic yes, but not cinematic enough.
The sound design and the music/score can be annoying and way too loud sometimes and even overlapping with the character's lines.
Performances:
Timothée chalamet is not a bad actor but these kinds of films are certainly not for him. He is not charismatic enough. His acting overall was below average here. He looked like he was about to fall asleep in every close shot.
Rebecca ferguson was really good. The way she portrayed jessica as this strong yet emotional lady makes you believe like you are watching a real character not a caricature.
Oscar issac, Jason mamoa were decent with what they were given.
Stellan skarsgård was a very interesting villain, not three dimensional but definitely interesting to watch. I love when villains don't overact and still be intimidating.
Sharon Duncan-brewster is an actress I am not familiar with her work but loved her acting in this film, will definitely be watching her other projects. Though I wish she had more screen time.
Javier Bardem, Josh brolin and Charlotte rampling were a waste. I mean Javier looked like he was forced to be in this film, his laziness was noticeable. AND what an awful way to end a character the way they ended gurney's...
Batista and zendaya were cast just because of their popularity.
Dennis villeneuve is a good director but he needs to understand that a director's job is not only about creating nice frames, it is also about bringing LIFE to the film and the characters (ACTING cannot do that alone) that did not happen here.
