Throughout each month, HBO adds a list of new movies that’s comprised of original programming, old classics, and theatrical titles. Out of a lineup full of award-winning blockbusters, this premiering original documentary stands out as the best new filmcoming to HBO this month.

The Princess(Released August 13) *HBO Original

The Princessis a visceral and incredibly emotional deep-dive into the late Princess Diana’s life in the constant and often quite intrusive glare of the media spotlight. Utilizing archival audio and video footage, the documentary unfolds as if the events were all occurring in the present, letting viewers experience both the overwhelming adoration and intense scrutiny of Diana’s every move and the constant judgement of her character. And though it feels incredibly immediate and current, the film also still is a reflection of British (and even global) society at the time, revealing the public’s own preoccupations, hopes, fears, and wants. The Princessdebuts on the 25th anniversary of Princess Diana’s tragic death, so consider honoring her life and memory by watching it on HBO the day it drops.
