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. May 26, 2015 | Full Review…

Kidman does her best to dignify the role, but it's all victimhood and tears. May 30, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Uninspiring from its first frame to its last, Grace of Monaco is a piece of hagiographic fluff that cobbles together tropes from other recent biopics of famous women. May 25, 2014 | Full Review…

Little is left to our imagination or intelligence as characters spout facts and exposition and we're treated to a parade of familiar historical figures in distracting smaller roles. May 14, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It is almost perversely impressive how Dahan misses almost every target and squanders almost every opportunity. May 14, 2014 | Full Review…

Often silly but never vivacious, Grace of Monaco fails as either a stately drama of the BBC provenance or an entertainingly trashy tell-all. May 14, 2014 | Full Review…

Like many ill-fated biopics before it, it leaves us none the wiser as to what this woman, who must have been as complex as she was fascinating, tick. Mar 5, 2019 | Full Review…

Forget austerity, Dahan wants to celebrate evening dresses and glamour: how very Cannes of him. May 14, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The whole thing feels like such a poor excuse for a film: a laughable, over-frotted tissue of pompoms and camp footmen in which a charity ball is presented as a credible diplomatic manoeuvre as well as an important plotline. Feb 20, 2018 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Here, for a movie that attempts to portray such an interesting life, the result is pretty bland. Nov 13, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

You never buy you're watching anyone other than Nicole Kidman. She's less tragic princess and more Stepford wife. Sep 1, 2017 | Full Review…

This fictionalized portrayal of Grace Kelly's life is a relatively absorbing character study until it finally decides to glamorize her with sacred music and a godlike back light behind her in a heavy-handed, hagiographic third act that feels terribly embarrassing.

Monaco and France in 1962 made abundantly easy.
