New York Magazine (Vulture)Jen ChaneyJul 25, 2017
Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydJul 24, 2017
Season 1 Review: If it does have the burnished, nonstick surface of an "authorized" document--not quite a promotional piece, but not entirely not one--the film is authentically moving all the same. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckJul 24, 2017
Season 1 Review: Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy can feel a bit hagiographic. But it also provides a stirring and very personal portrait of a figure who was not just a princess but also a mother. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandJul 24, 2017
Season 1 Review: Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy will melt the heart of the most hardened cynic. ... All of this could be dismissed as Buckingham Palace PR, were it not for the relative openness with which Harry and William talk about their mother. Read full review

Washington PostHank StueverJul 24, 2017
Season 1 Review: Diana, Our Mother is probably all we’ll hear from William and Harry this time around, and, to be entirely honest, it feels like just enough. Just enough of the anguish. Just enough review of her good works (visiting AIDS patients when no one else would, campaigning against land mines). Just enough rumination on her phenomenal wattage. Read full review
