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

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.

You gotta pump those numbers down those are rookie numbers.

Fuck me, the Standard has actually REVISED ITS REVIEW, knocked a star off, and is corncobbing wildly. Look at this shit. #Melania #USpol

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 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.

Imagine nothing compelling you to go out to the cinema for 10 years but being dragged from your cinematic coffin by the fucking #Melania documentary, Jesus Christ. This fandom is both unhinged and cringe as anything. #USpol

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.

A second positive review has hit the #Melania rottentomatoes rating. It’s by the Epoch Times. What the fuck is the Epoch Times, you ask? Well…

Also, lol, “warmth and compassion”, and they chose that photo.

In case you think this is a purely political division, it‘s worth noting that even a shallow right wing rag with a readership of ancient bigots like the Daily Express gave #Melania a negative review.
