Grace of Monaco: a big, glistening, strutting, irresistible turkey

The film has all the emotional heft of one of those American daytime TV biopics. I highly recommend it

Grace of Monaco, the Grace Kelly biopic starring Nicole Kidman, is an absolute joy, and I highly recommend it. Unless you live under a rock, which I think I might envy (dark, quiet, peaceful, but maybe dank?), you’ll know it was savaged at Cannes, but don’t let that put you off, as this isn’t just some middling turkey; this is a big, glistening, strutting turkey.
