Wallis Simpson, Loved and Lost is a fascinating dive into the life of a woman who, frankly, was caught in a whirlwind of scandal and royal drama. The documentary, directed by Claire Walding, offers a nuanced look at Wallis, peeling back layers of the woman often painted as a villain in history. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sit with her experiences—from her American upbringing to her controversial relationship with Edward VIII.
