Really difficult to care about super-rich people maybe having to pay a little tax. Not worth watching. Feels like it belongs in a box set with Natalie Portman doing Jackie and Naomi Watts doing Diana - all of them utterly mediocre.

I quote comment under me"A fiasco that utterly lacks Grace. 1/10 Author: JLA-2 from United States 26 May 2015I can't believe so many people have given this movie any stars. It's both ridiculous and inept. So, where to begin?The idea that France would annex Monaco is treated with the world-shaking importance of the Cuban Missile Crisis. It's a spat about taxes. Hardly earth-shaking. Another crisis is whether Grace will return to Hollywood, beckoned by Hitchcock, to star in "Marnie." That movie was also a mess with Tippi Hedren and is certainly on the bottom of the Hitchcock oeuvre, alongside "Topaz". It would have been no better with Grace Kelly. The script meanders about with one poorly conceived scene after the next. None, even vaguely plausible. Do you think that people went around calling Rainier "Ray" and Grace "Gracie"? I think not. ""The idea that France would annex Monaco is treated with the world-shaking importance of the Cuban Missile Crisis."So, Cuban missile crisis, a false-flag operation was somehow more important than a sovereignty of one European nation??? What about Kosovo then??? Autonomy for people that already have their own country??? Like autonomy for Hungarians in Slovakia, no?Whyt really was so "graceful" about some actress married to some prince??? She wasn't so good actress, at all...Nice movie.

This film purports to be about a "moment in time" and based on "historical events" about Grace Kelly as Princess of Monaco, and it is an utter fabrication from beginning to end. Which would be fine as an imagining but it pretends to be a biopic, and it isn't. It is utterly inaccurate about Grace Kelly herself and the events it presents. It is demeaning both to her and to the history it misportrays. The writer and director obviously have no sense of shame whatsoever and did this film only with an eye on the buck they could make by cashing in on her fame. Fortunately, they lost their shirts on this turkey. Yes, Nicole Kidman and Tim Roth and Frank Angella, as always, did their best and were great. But they were horribly deceived about what this film would be. I think it's fun to reimagine history, but not when you pretend it's fact and completely misrepresent the truth. This film is a travesty of film-making, and a lesson in deception that film-makers should pay attention to. Making fools of us is not fun, or even, in this case, profitable.

Among some other mistakes, we can notice that "left handed" Nicole Kidman plays a "right handed" famous actress, that is, Grace Kelly. Watch when she signs an autograph before entering the Red Cross ball. It is strange that nobody mentioned that point before. On the other hand, I agree with people who found the script very poor. And what about Charles de Gaulle using English language. Most of all, not speaking French with Rainier. By the way, it is very funny to hear "Ray" for Rainier. I do not think this was actually the way people called him, besides Grace Kelly, of course.So, in a way or another,I think this film deserves its fate, that is to be shown only on TV.
