    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The settings, costumes, and outfits are beautiful, elegant, and period-accurate. The music has carefully balanced tones to find the right mood for the drama, tension, and sentimentality. We are taken on a journey that, in looking at Grace Kelly's life, somehow enchants us.
    - Katarina Bredberg

  • 3. Aftonbladet
    3 / 5

    Translated from swedish: We never really get under the skin of Grace Kelly. But "Grace of Monaco" is still a fascinating story. A tale of how power and wealth don't automatically mean happiness.
    - Jan-Olov Andersson

    Translated from swedish: Anxiety, frustrations, and doubt rarely find their place in fairy tale books.

  • 6. Arbetarbladet
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "Grace of Monaco" opened the festival in Cannes recently and the reception was, to put it bluntly, merciless. But Nicole Kidman didn't need to apologize in the interviews. She is magnificent. And one positive thing must be said about the film – that it lets her be just that. Her towering figure dominates the men and the rooms. The camera gives her endless space without ever turning her into a sex object.
    - Bodil Juggas

  • 7. Gefle Dagblad
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: This is essentially Nicole Kidman's film, and I couldn't help but think of Edda Magnuson in her portrayal of Monica Zetterlund. After a while, it feels like you're seeing the original on the big screen.
    - Stefan Andersson

  • 8. Fredrik Fyhr
    2 / 4

    Translated from swedish: The characters constantly explain what they mean and there's no realistic flow, no authentic sense of life, nothing but soap opera drivel in fancy dress.
    - Fredrik Fyhr

  • 9. Nöjesguiden
    3 / 6

    Translated from swedish: "Grace of Monaco" as a charming, romantic trifle probably deserves a passing grade, but as a memorable historical biographical film: not so much.
    - Isabelle Espinoza

  • 10. Helsingborgs Dagblad
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: A film for monarchists and tax evaders!

    2 / 5

    Translated from swedish: Banal drama fails to breathe life into Grace
    - Annika Gustafsson

  • 12. SVT
    2 / 5

    Translated from swedish: There's undeniably some quality on offer. The cinematography is ambitious and plays with contemporary framing and effects, and Nicole Kidman is, despite her stiff plastic surgery, still an expressive actress, but when clichés take control of a story about a human being, it rarely becomes particularly rewarding.
    - Fredrik Sahlin

  • 13. Sveriges Radio
    2 / 5

    Translated from swedish: When you make a movie that rewrites history as much as they've done here and call it "Grace of Monaco", then I get disappointed.
    - Björn Jansson

  • 14. Toppraffel
    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: As a film, "Grace of Monaco" is a thin and forgettable trifle.

    Translated from swedish: Uninteresting fluff without feeling
    - Erika Hallhagen

  • 16. Ciné
    3 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The script is probably the film's greatest weakness, not only in its plot but also in dialogue it's at times catastrophic. Nicole Kidman does her best to give Grace Kelly the star quality a portrayal of her deserves, but it rarely gets through the clumsy formulations.
    - Albin Wesley

  • 17. Dagens Nyheter
    1 / 5

    Translated from swedish: Utterly boring princess on the loose. It could have been a delicious colorful candy about royalty, but there's hardly any spark from Nicole Kidman as Grace.
    - Kerstin Gezelius

  • 18. Göteborgs-Posten
    1 / 5

    Translated from swedish: Above all, it's quite an achievement to so catastrophically fail at telling a story that touches you in the slightest, despite having all the necessary ingredients at your disposal.
    - Hannes Dükler

  • 19. Arbetet
    2 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The film's saving grace is the stunningly captivating images from the French Riviera. The story itself doesn't move you.
    - Catarina Berglund
