Grace of Monaco English Movie Review
Ratings:2.5/5 Review By: Gavin Rasquinha Site: Times Of India (TOI). While Kidman puts in her best shot, the other performances are somewhat boring. Visually, the film looks pretty, no doubt. But that cannot hide the fact that there's barely enough substance to keep a viewer engaged. Under Dahan's direction, Grace comes across as a mix of a bleeding heart and Princess Diana-like patron saint of her people. Dahan had got it right with 2007's La Vie En Rose, which was about the singer Edith Piaf. Here, for a movie that attempts to portray such an interesting life, the result is pretty bland.Visit Site for more
Ratings:4/5 Review By: Gautaman Bhaskaran Site: Hindustan Times
Finally, if one were to see the film as a piece of fiction rather than a document of history, Grace of Monaco is a story well told, and engagingly so. It has breathtaking visuals and lovely people, and Dahan has an eye for detailing that makes his movie all the more arresting. Yes, Kelly's life was no fairy tale, and she died tragically in a 1982 car accident. We do see bits and pieces of her sorrow and suffering (Rainier was hot tempered, who even slaps a visiting envoy). But Dahan's creation has mostly to do with Kelly's grit to pull her kingdom out of the darkness it was slipping into.Visit Site for more
Ratings:2/5 Review By: Tushar Joshi Site: DNA
Despite having one of the most colorful personalities as the face of the film, the treatment and script do no justice to the material that's being developed. It's not just the pace, but the way events unfold that makes you uneasy and restless. Dahn seems to be in a mad rush to give us that big ending with the speech and the spotlight on Kelly. Stuck between attempting to be an accurate biopic and an entertaining drama, Grace of Monaco dazzles but doesn't impress.Visit Site for more
