Rotten
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.
Jon Frosch, The Atlantic

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
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.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out
Rotten
It is almost perversely impressive how Dahan misses almost every target and squanders almost every opportunity.
Stephen Dalton, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
Often silly but never vivacious, Grace of Monaco fails as either a stately drama of the BBC provenance or an entertainingly trashy tell-all.
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
Rotten
Grace Kelly's post-Hollywood life may not have been the fairy tale some thought it to be, but you wouldn't know it from director Olivier Dahan's cornball melodrama.
