It's a great film to watch if you don't know a thing about Grace Kelly. At the beginning of the film, it states that the film is a fictional drama based on true story so if you are expecting a biopic, don't watch this movie as many critics warn.
Nevertheless, this is a great film to watch. In perspective of an occasional movie watcher, it's not such a bad film as many critics write. Nicole Kidman's acting, I believe, captures the moment quite well. Her struggle and sacrifice as a wife, a princess, and an artist are somewhat inspiring. I also liked how supposedly evil French president resembles Hitler. Most importantly, setting and theme are refreshing. If you liked The Iron Lady, you will probably like this film, too.
