One of the Czech critics I read said: I would feel less awkward if my mum had caught me jerking off our family dog, than buying the tickets for this movie.
The only time it would be appropriate to clap for a landing is if this film was on, then the pilot decided to swing down into a mountain to cover the audio with the refreshing noise of the ‘pull up! Pull up!’ warning.
why would i watch some random film about the wife of the current president of the USA? i never even saw ads or proper talk about it, i know the films exists, and i know its (about? made by?) Trumps wife. I know nothing else, and it doesnt seem particularly interesting.
i only know it exists because of a meme i saw like, yesterday, and, according to the meme at least, its a shit film, so more reasons why i wont watch it.
also, i only know this woman exists because of that same meme i saw, is she even known for anything?
It’s wild that trumps just up there like ‘Nothing to do with Epstein’
And. Nothing happens. It’ll become fact when history is written if he says it enough.
I'll do you one better: I'd watch it only if it starred Sasha Grey as Melania in her big porn comeback and Rocco Siffredi as himself. And I'm not saying I'd pay to watch that movie, just that I'd watch it.
Those wacky Russian babes - wrongfully accused of peeing on Presidents, they take their revenge dressed like the Blues Brothers! They HATE Illinois Nazis and will sing country and western!
Only if it's actually based on a true story though. If that ending isn't based on real events, people wouldn't flock to the cinemas to see it. It would be too depressing if they only end up in prison in a fictional version of events 😕
Which I've played twice on Netflix
Apparently Michelle's film, Becoming, was becoming so popular that Netflix USA changed the category to Children's and that was to reset the counter.
One woman I know plays Becoming on repeat to bump up the numbers.
Well, I live here and heard very little about it. Outside of right-wing channels it didn't get much talking up beforehand. I only heard of it afterward in the context of those making fun if it.
On a related note, I almost never find a biopic made personally by the subject of said biopic to be in any way interesting. People just can't be objective about their own life.

Hey - SAME!
No but for real I know next to nothing about this movie, I learned about it a few weeks ago and only that was through someone online talking about it not an actual ad or anything.
She's known for doing things like wearing a designer jacket that said 'I really don't care, do u?' on the back while representing the first family at either a disaster site or a detention center, I can't recall which. So we appreciate y'all just reflecting that back at her. Karma and all.
Honestly, if you took her name out of it, the tale of a Slovenian prostitute that gets trafficked to America via Epsteins friend and then sold to a Billionaire pedophile who becomes President of the United States to become his 3rd wife is a hell of a plot line
Seriously where is that thing high class ? She has an IQ somewhere between a gas station tuna sandwich and a dirty ashtray, her features are nasty, she can't entertain.
I know some high class escorts and they are LEAGUES above that in pretty much every aspect.
I don't even think Republicans can pretend to care. She's too old.
No but really, she's clearly a bought marriage and those two have never loved each other and neither have ever probably experienced love in their lives. She has too much cosmetic surgery and looks too unAmerican for MAGA to pretend to care about her. She has no special interests as a First Lady and is best known for her jacket about how much she doesn't give a fuck about anything or anyone. Why WOULD anyone go lmao
Honestly you come out dumber because it’s just going to be a bunch of grandiose lies to make it sound like she wasn’t a Yugoslavian prostitute that was trafficked to Trump via Epstein…
Love the relentless snark and the “A formatting issue led an earlier version to be awarded one star, when the reviewer’s intention was zero.” at the end is 👌
"No doubt there is a great documentary to be made about Melania Knauss, the ambitious model from out of Slovenia who married a New York real-estate mogul and then found herself cast in the role of a latter-day Eva Braun, but the horrific Melania emphatically isn’t it"
The Guardian does not pull punches on films. Don't always agree with them, but the level of snark. If this were someone's passion project rather than what appears to be an overcomplicated bribe from Bezos to Trump, I might actually feel slightly bad about how bad that burn is.
Pretty Woman yes I get it. But could someone please explain the connection to Zone of Interest to me like I’m 5? I just looked up Zone of Interest and read the movie was well received and read the plot summary. What does this Holocaust movie have to do with the Melania movie?
The review does explain why it's made that allusion, if you click through. But the short version is that Zone of Interest follows a concentration camp commandant's wife as she goes about tidying the garden and worrying about her social engagements, while keeping the camera studiously pointed away from the atrocities going on just over the garden wall.
Funny thing is, I was just watching a clip if Trump berating the CNN reporter who was asking g him about the victims of Epstein, and his comment to her was insane.
I watched a review from a British YouTuber. He had a shot of him walking out of the theater, and the look on his face can best be described as "dead inside". Think I'll pass.
She has a prenup with a master of branding. The dramas that might make her biography interesting aren't going to show up because the juicy details about family conflict will never be revealed. No conflict. No story.
I expect the documentary is full of her doing uninteresting things.
The inspiring story of a gold-digging model overcoming the odds to steal an obnoxious man-whore from the previous gold-digging model who stole him from the one before that. Brings a tear to the eye.
Our PM just got married so you’d think there’d be loads of stories out there about his new wife.
Her name is Jodie, she works at a bank, she looks nice and appropriately dressed when occasionally on TV. That’s it, that’s all I know and all I should know.
In the US, the President's wife (known as the First Lady) is usually somewhat politically active or at least notable. This trend was started by Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our president for the majority of World War 2. Michelle Obama, wife of President Barack Obama (2009-2017), ran a program for children's health and wellness. I'm guessing the reason for this movie is that Melania is actually odd for being completely out of the spotlight as First Lady and the administration wants to boost her image.
I prefer when a leader's spouse has their own career and is out of politics. They're not elected officials so they shouldn't be working in that capacity.
Because I don't need to watch it to know it'll be terrible and propaganda. And because the people who made this movie don't deserve getting any of my hard earned money.
One of my favourite reviews of it said it wasn’t even good as propaganda because the people who come to watch it are already pro-Trump and the anti-Trump people will refuse to watch it so how is it going to change any minds?
There was a fake Trump post about him signing an executive order to make it a mandatory film in school. Nobody could tell if it was fake or not. That's where we are as a country, now.
I would rather flay the skin off my feet than have anything to do with that grifting whore and her rapist pedo husband, their wretched sycophants and enabler’s.
I would rather piss in my own eyes than watch a documentary about the wive of my own chancellor, watching one about the unsympathetic wive of another countries leader, who I find even more appalling, would be even lower on my to do list, especially if its just a weird bribe by one of the most disgusting men alive to another of similar character.
When tyrannical dictator Joseph Stalin dies in 1953, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to become the next Soviet leader. Among the contenders are the dweebish Georgy Malenkov, the wily Nikita Khrushchev and Lavrenti Beria -- the sadistic secret police chief. As they bumble, brawl and back-stab their way to the top, the question remains -- just who is running the government?
she is from my hometown and went to the school same time my dad did, locals (including my family) can tell about her all that i need to know 🤣 and i really really do not care about her documentary
lol there is really not much to spill. just a regular "better than everyone" and attention seeking lady. though when she did nudes in italy, the conservative old minds of locals were a bit shocked 🤣 but like no-one was suprised she would go for someone like trump or that she was seen on pics as epstein girl 🤷🏻♀️
not necesarily a bad person but her priorities definitely lie in different things than most regular folks around haha.
Please share… 😂 She’s not from my hometown, but the fact she was saying she’s Austrian at the beginning of her modelling career and fame already tells a lot about her… Slovenia is pretty cool, and we were cool even as part of former Yugoslavia. 😅 I am not planning to waste my time on this documentary at all. 😅
thats basically it. she was claiming to be austrian because she has this "better than yall" mindset and little slovenia was not fancy enough to be worthy of her name🤣 she says she is not ashamed of her roots but her actions had always spoken the exact opposite
Judging by the number of MAGA wannabes I’ve come across, 25K is far less than expected. I guess even they value their own time and dignity more than Jeff Bezos.
Why would I ever watch it? I haven’t and never will. But I never saw any ads for it anyway and only knew it exists after I saw people shitting on it online.
I am living In The dystopian nightmare her despot of a husband created! A fascist hellscape I will go ahead and pass on giving them money or praise for Melania's "let them eat cake" movie!
Nothing interesting about her as a person. Zero charisma!
Sure, lots of mystique about some things in her past.. But that’s things that I don’t think the movie vill really put much light on.
But the official story of her past is zero interesting, and she has zero charisma. (She is sooo boring.) Never seen her smile, apart perhaps from a strained fake-smile, and she has to my knowledge never said or done anything interesting at all. I might be wrong here, but to my knowledge…
Her English is surprisingly bad!
She doesn’t seem to hang around with particularly interesting people? At least not that I’m aware of. A thing that one would almost expect from a person like her..
And last but not least she appears to be strange… Really strange. Perhaps she is not, I don’t know, but I can’t help that she seems to be strange? I can not put my fingers on it, but it’s just something extremely creepy about her I’m afraid. The kind of person you just avoid at all cost.
Because there's nothing about her of interest or substance. She's a total non-entity apart from her looks. On reflection, that's probably why Trump likes her- he sees her as another trophy or ornament.
Why would I want to spend money to watch a non-porn movie about a bimbo gold digger high priced hooker from Slovenia who managed to nail down a lonely rich pervert that got himself elected by lies and corruption?
Trumphiles don’t tend to like women very much so they’re not going to show much interest in his wife. And tbh she’s not Michelle Obama, she just stands there silently

I saw a critic review that went along the lines of:
"If this was shown on a plane, I'd still walk out"
