Critics Consensus

Beautifully shot but utterly vapid, Grace of Monaco fails to honor either its subject or its audience.

Kidman seemed a natural choice to play Kelly. She manages to soar in several scenes. Hampered by the subpar material, she seems utterly lost, unable to master what could have been the role of her career.

1/5

Not so much a turkey as a dodo, Grace of Monaco never takes flight and extinction is probably the best course for it.

1/5

This cack-handed snapshot of "Grace Kelly's greatest role" is destined to become another epithet-coining catastrophe, the benchmark by which badder-than-bad biopics will be judged in years to come.

2/4

Dahan’s showy direction that overstates every scene; he tries to compensate for an emotionally inert drama with style and instead underscores how affectless the whole thing manages to be.

Viewing Grace of Monaco is like learning a flock of geese is secretly living inside your local library. It just keeps honking at the wrong times, all the time.

1.5/5

While Kidman is certainly a big draw here, an impuissant script and a lascivious amount of obsessive close-ups distract from a performance that appears to contradict the political turmoil behind the scenes.

Fake and wooden. A biopic without any truth behind it. Why?

We really enjoyed it. No clue why it was rated so low. Nicole Kidman was amazing as Grace Kelly.

Honestly I can't say enough about how Nicole Kidman knocked this one out of the park. The onscreen chemistry with Tim Roth was very palpable. If only there could be a sequel, it would be a treat to see them together again. Unfortunately, history was not kind of enough to allow it. Thanks for reading my review.
