*21 on [[http://www.metacritic.com/movie/grace-of-monaco Metacritic]]
*9% on [[http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/grace_of_monaco_2013/ RT]] (the high user score is \\\"Want to See,\\\" so RT didn\\\'t bother to change it after its theatrical release got cancelled)
*Made $26.6 million worldwide on a $30 million budget
*Harshly criticized by the royal family of Monaco for its historical inaccuracy, particularly the negative portrayal of Prince Rainier III
*The Weinstein Co. (its North American distributor and one of its production companies) had numerous arguments with the director (typical ExecutiveMeddling on their behalf), and by the final cut, they had so little faith in the film after its Cannes premiere that it skipped the theaters and debuted on Lifetime instead - making it the only (that I know of) Cannes opener that premiered on network TV without a theatrical release
*In a Twitter tell-all/commentary that screenwriter Arash Amel wrote while the film was being aired on Lifetime, he basically disowned it and expressed regret over some of the decisions involved in its production (best quote: \\\"I wrote a Peter-Morgan-type biopic that became a Douglas Sirk melodrama\\\")
*More than several of the IMdb [[http://m.imdb.com/title/tt2095649/ reviews]] praising it seem fake
