Look, Leni Riefenstahl was a terrible
person, but at least she had some style.
Accused sex pest/confirmed hack Brett
Ratner, meanwhile, captures the
proceedings with all the flair of an HGTV...

'Melania' Review: Brett
Ratner's First Lady
Documentary Is a
Cheeseball Infomercial of
Staggering Inertia
There's no drama to a film that should have
been called "Day of the Living Tradwife."

Melania review - Trump
film is a gilded trash
remake of The Zone of
Interest
One star
Dispiriting, deadly and unrevealing - there is a
decent documentary to be made about the
former model from Slovenia, but this one is
unredeemable 11d7334ce937abca.jpeg Melania review - First
Lady is a preening,
scowling void of pure
nothingness in this
ghastly bit of propaganda
One star
Hitting cinemas as the streets of America remain filled
with the angry and grieving, the vulgar, gilded lifestyle
of the Trumps makes them look like Marie Antoinette
skulking in her cake-filled chateau
Nick Hilton 8a76e8d560550feb.jpeg Rolling Stone has reported that almost two-
thirds of the New York production crew did not
want their names associated with the film,
which required "really long hours" in a "highly
disorganized" and "very" chaotic environment.
Even though more reportedly wished they had
followed suit, the drama and chaos of Donald's
time as president were the reasons. One source
who said they wished they'd had the foresight
to remove their name from the documentary
told the outlet, "I'm much more alarmed now
than I was a year ago." 35abe69bd7c2fcce.jpeg The first verified review on rottentomatoes for Melania:

* 1/5
This is not a film concerned at all with the
America of today; it is propaganda that
serves the formation of a future non-
democracy.
