[quote=Anonymous]Brutal takedown of the doc and Melania from different countries.  American critics may be too afraid of Trump to be brutally honest as their critique of the film is somewhat bland, but critics from other countries don't fear Trump.

Here's one example:

[quote]Australian substack Screen Space also gave the film one star: “Watching Melania get fitted for expensive clothes in gaudy rooms, or talk up how extravagantly staged she demands her balls be – and both happen a lot in Brett Ratner’s unrelentingly boring feature doc debut – only strengthen perceptions of her as a chilly, lifeless socialite wannabe… Melania is not the story of the First Lady of American politics, but the imagining of the first homeland monarch in U.S. history. 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.”

The Guardian, whose critic said he had the cinema all to himself at his screening this morning, also gave the film one star, calling it “Dispiriting, deadly and unrevealing – there is a decent documentary to be made about the former model from Slovenia, but this one is unredeemable … I’m not even sure it qualifies as a documentary, exactly, so much as an elaborate piece of designer taxidermy, horribly overpriced and ice-cold to the touch and proffered like a medieval tribute to placate the greedy king on his throne.”[/quote]
