It's 1962, six years after Oscar-winning Hollywood actress Grace Kelly (Nicole Kidman) married Prince Rainier III of Monaco (Tim Roth). Now Grace yearns to respond to the overtures of Alfred Hitchcock (Roger Ashton-Griffiths) and return to film-making. But being a mother of two and monarch of a small European principality makes this a challenge. Fate intervenes when France seeks to regain Monaco by force, plunging the country into turmoil. Now Grace is forced to make the biggest decision of her life. She can either be an international movie star or recognise her obligation to her husband and adopted country - and accept that she will never act again. (texto oficial do distribuidor)

Uma biografia duma lenda de Hollywood, representado pelo número um de Hollywood, com ambições ao nível da novela romântica televisiva. Talvez nada neste filme seja bom. Outras vezes excelente Kidman não encanta, os clássicos Langella e Jacobi têm papéis sem valor, a resolução dum problema político não consegue cativar e a produção, estrangulada por um orçamento baixo, serve-se de pouco mais do que um kitsch barato e sem conteúdo na sua viagem até ao espetador. Por muito bonita e promissora que seja a cena poética de abertura do filme, a última, depois de todas as suas tentativas vãs dum jogo decente do conflito entre o bom coração e a política de poder, é risível.

It's good to approach Grace of Monaco from the perspective of a Nicole Kidman film, because you'll enjoy it even more after that than if you were a die hard Grace Kelly fan. It's all very Nicole-centric which is perfectly fine, because if the point is Grace coming to terms with her new role in life, it's impossible to overlook the performer of this great transformation. I also appreciate Paz Vega in the role of Maria Callas, who herself is also the subject of her own biographies, and she easily shines alongside Nicole/Grace. Ironically, Grace of Monaco is not about Hollywood or Monaco, but is "just" another great story of a strong woman whose life story helped the modern age become truly modern.

This is a movie where the creators themselves probably didn't really know what they wanted to tell, so they also included a bit of espionage, psychological drama, political drama, and human drama. Simply put, there is too much going on and nothing really works properly. And nothing against Nicole, but she simply isn't Grace. An empty movie that screams its message until it's no longer beautiful.
