Michele P @Raven1313 Jul 1 I voted for Donald Trump all three times, so I wanted to watch this documentary about his wife to learn more about her. I was very disappointed. 75% of the film is Melania "cat walking" from one car, plane, hallway, or room to another. The other 25% finds her posing--polished, sophisticated, stoic. There is no warmth, and few smiles, but she sure shakes up a room. "The Devil Wears Prada" came to life while Melania was being fitted for her Inauguration outfit. Her costume, I mean wardrobe team, scuttled around her like mice, afraid that one wrong move or pin or comment would send them out on the streets. The opulence, the details (a gold egg served with caviar at a dinner for donors), and the tone deafness to what "real Americans" feel in their everyday lives are always present. This was a "show," (including the visit to St. Patrick), a robotic "cold as ice" performance that was calculated and damning. The only human warmth is reserved for Barron. At least that's one good thing.

The result is a cinematic experience that feels less like a movie and more like someone accidentally sat on the fast-forward button of a very awkward family DVD player. The acting deserves special recognition—not because it’s good, but because it exists at all. Every performance has the emotional range of a GPS voice saying "recalculating." You can practically see the actors thinking, "Is it too late to go back to my day job?" Spoiler: it’s not. Please do. Watch it if you’re studying what not to do in filmmaking, or if you enjoy unintentional comedy. Otherwise, you’re better off watching paint dry—it has better character development and a more satisfying finish. See more Navy V @NavyVetET2 Feb 15 Would not watch this again. I can not recommend this to anyone. See more Liam @SkulldogFervor Feb 3 Wow. What a waste of my time. See more Joseph S @Phoenix2000 Feb 2 I found this to be absolute rubbish. The acting is wooden and unconvincing, with line delivery that feels rehearsed rather than lived-in. Emotional moments fall flat, and instead of drawing the viewer in, the performance creates distance. See more River W @Wolfey Feb 1 I wish I could get this time back . I read her BFF’s account of being her right hand in the first admin. Melania is a horribly vapid person. See more Read all reviews
