Stupid and offensive

Grace of Monaco (2014)

Directed by Olivier Dahan this film based on real events stars Nicole Kidman, Tim Roth, Frank Langella and Derek Jacobi. In 1962 former film star Grace Kelly struggles to live with her role as princess to a country in crisis.

Nothing here is much good from a suspect, overly simplistic script to a complete re-writing of history. The tale of a Hollywood actress attempting to fit in with the politics of European aristocracy provides a decent culture clash basis for a film but this film is on a trip to fantasy land. At times it becomes hard to find any empathy with a story that is essentially a monarchy dictatorship trying to profit off a bunch of tax dodgers.


1/5
