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.

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.

"Melania" fights fairly by fighting gracefully. This is Ratner's most elegant filmmaking so far.

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.

Very interesting. Too bad that many of Melania's accomplishments are not made to people who watch the news. Most news stations are too biased and too political.

It was really interesting to see behind the scenes, and to also see what a strong, intelligent, and poised woman Melania is!
