KM Karen M @KathyHarris • 15h ••• * * * * * As a creative-writer, pianist, singer, perfectionist, lover of classical music and art-l found Melania unexpectedly moving. The documentary opens her inner sanctum, and in doing so, created a quiet sense of sisterhood. I didn't see a distant public figure; I saw someone achingly real-like watching your sister on her wedding day or hearing your daughter's name called at graduation. There she is. Her elegance is unmistakable, yet the vulnerability is what lingers. She is refined without artifice, reserved yet deeply expressive. The film is not about Donald Trump-au contraire. It feels more like peering into the private life of a royal from afar, and realizing with pride: she is my First Lady. It has been a long time since young women-and grown ones -had a woman of such standalone strength to admire. Her quiet power rivals that of any great woman who has ever held a throne. Highly recommend, regardless of political persuasion. See Less 8880b62aeb4a0089.jpeg TH Tara H @TaraHart24 - 13h ••. ****• This is the first movie l've gone to watch in the theater in 10 years. I thought getting to see a little glimpse into her personal life was great. The first 30 minutes were a little more staged than I'd prefer. It seemed like it was the successful version of what Megan Markle was trying but failed to do. Once the inauguration started it was a lot more entertaining.I loved getting to see it from her point of view. The only thing I wish I got to see was an even more 'real' side of her. The one that's sitting in sweats and a robe in the morning while watching the news but given how awful Hollywood and the left is to her I get why she couldn't. Otherwise I really enjoyed it. Worth the watch. See Less a6bc13168c74d1d1.jpeg Logan Roy saying You are not serious film critics 5dac9cb66781eaf8.jpeg Three stars The reviews have been scathing, of course they have. There are film critics out there who would have slated a documentary by and about Melania Trump if it had been filmed by Jean Luc Godard -who, incidentally, is the subject of an alternative cinematic offer this weekend. But for those who complain of two hours of boredom, may I just refer them to the title of the documentary, Melania? And to the giveaway detail that she is co-producer?The issue is there, upfront. If you don't like Melania Trump - or, more probably, Donald Trump-to the point where seeing lots of her and some of him is actually a neuralgic thing, this may not be for you. But for those who accept what it's bout - Melania, curated by Melania (this may be mostly political nerds) it's rather fascinating. It's a bid by a woman who This is a very poorly edited paragraph which has lots of missing spaces and other errors, emphasising the stage of corncob being witnessed. bbe2923f152cb8e7.jpeg MELANIA Melania PG, Now Playing, Documentary 6% Tomatometer 16 Reviews 89494b20f5818185.jpeg THE IRISH TIMES Film Review Melania review: Shameless propaganda that could put you to sleep If this supposed documentary weren't about what it's actually about, it could at times play as an unlikely meditation aid 8434764084f4decf.jpeg THE IRISH TIMES If one was being polite one might explain the film was made with the full co- operation of producer Mrs M Trump (who allegedly trousered a fair whack of Amazon's 40 big ones). If one was being less compliant one would describe Ratner's project as shameless propaganda. But not active, forceful propaganda in the school of Leni Riefenstahl's films about the Nazis. Melania: The Movie appears keener on inducing narcolepsy in its viewers than energising them into massed marching. Triumph of the Dull, perhaps. bb4447fae07b3898.jpeg Five stars A fantastic flick, our theater was sold out and erupted in applause and cheers at the end of the show. Melania is a wonderful human, a class act and America is blessed she is once again our First Lady. This behind the scenes sneak peek was so well done and such a wonderful watch. A must see. 16292d50452ab0a8.jpeg RottenTomatoes screenshot for Melania showing 7% for critic reviews and 99% for user reviews. d80bfafb617f208d.jpeg Kicking off your movie with a one-two punch of needle-dropping "Gimme Shelter" by the Rolling Stones and "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson means you're probably one of three things: Martin Scorsese, Baz Luhrmann, or an idiot. Brett Ratner, accused sex pest and filmmaker behind the Rush Hour trilogy, is not either of the first two. He is, however, the director of 061974e2dbd66df4.jpeg 'Melania' Review: A Tedious, Criminally Shallow Propaganda Puff Piece The "Rush Hour" director returns with a shameful cinematic suck-up masquerading as a real documentary William Bibbiani January 30, 2026 @ 9:17 PM d824b3d5fe023fa9.jpeg DECIDER What Melania most resembles, apart from a concert movie that only features songs licensed from other artists (and, I can't stress this enough, often borrowed directly from other movies; the Phantom Thread score makes a cameo) is the kind of faith-based movies designed for people who hate movies because they spend the entire running time seething that they saw an interracial couple or a heroic Black woman or something. It's placid and uneventful - truly, people who watch it to bask in Melania's supposed glamour or to get a glimpse of their hero Donald will be getting all the tedium they deserve - because it doesn't know how to stop hitting the same note, over and over. Rather has reached his final form by making something that's not really a movie. It's just a bunch of footage. d70c1279da0f95be.jpeg
