Critics Consensus

Presented with great pomp and circumstance but little insight, this documentary purports to be an up-close view of the First Lady while curiously revealing very little about her.

Audience Says

An observational, behind-the-scenes look at the FLOTUS during POTUS’ inauguration, Melania is as polished as its subject -- elegant, charitable, and gifted with a famously distinctive fashion sensibility.

This documentary doesn’t absolve any sins; it highlights them. “Melania” taunts the viewer and takes glee in the assumption that they can’t do anything about it.

Its defining trait is that it's numbingly, agonizingly dull.

It’s not just that this is some self-serving spectacle. It’s that it’s a bad, totally un-entertaining self-serving spectacle.

The film concludes with her promise that she’ll fulfill her duties as First Lady “with purpose and style,” and a couple walls of text trumpeting her accomplishments from the past year. You’ll be lucky if you maintain consciousness long enough to read it.

Even the most devoted fans are unlikely to discover anything here that could not be gleaned from a quick Wikipedia search.

The camera catches Melania in moments where she seems happy. She sings along to “Billie Jean” with her driver. She appears genuinely comfortable when interacting with designer Hervé Pierre, French first lady Brigitte Macron and others.

The behind the scenes was top notch & unpresidented transparency. It's a look at the beauty, elegance & genuineness of Melania as First Lady, wife, mom, & business woman that's often dismissed & overlooked. The dynamic repoire, & respectful, loving relationship between President Trump & Melania is sweet to observe too.

I will be forever grateful that the First Lady documented such a kairos moment. This documentary was such an incredible peek into her life leading up to the inauguration. She also shared parts of her life with such beautiful vulnerability. She is full of integrity, love, intelligence, compassion, & grace. The classiest first lady our country has ever had. I’ve never felt more at ease than to have our unshakeable President Trump & First Lady in the White House. This documentary leaves you grateful for getting to witness such an incredible woman’s journey to First Lady for the second time.

Movie was very classy, showed how Melania handeld her self and being in the White House a second time. Her personality and character shined as always and her beauty is second to none.
