Critics still went to see it and might make others curious to watch it over how bad it is.
That's unacceptable. It needs complete ignoring. The only review about this movie should be focusing on the Epstein files.

Least torented movie ever.
Melania actually had a 12 minute sex scene where she humps a rhino.
You can't prove that it didn't happen because you didn't watch the movie.
It was beautiful that she moaned "It's Morbin' time!" when she came.
I wouldn’t even watch a Rifftrax take on this.
I'm wondering if The Flophouse is going to do an episode on it.
I haven't watched the movie but I choose to believe this is true and will dutifully share this information
Even if it did who wants to watch the equivalent of sentient silicone have sex?
Normally even a chance of some rhino smut would get me to watch something, but no way it's worth it here. Nice try maga
Why not? There was one in Okja.
More people have paid to be in Melania than have paid to see ‘Melania.’
Are we still talking about the movie?
I really don't care, do u?
Be best.
Wow, prolific sex pest Brett Ratner made a documentary about another sex pest's wife? AND Amazon is distributing it? Just a list of deplorables, isn't it?
Did people expect anything else? Do you need critics to tell you this? This is just a bribe to a crime family of grifters.
No, but it will be amusing to look back on in 50 years or so
In a one-star review, The Guardian critic Xan Brooks slammed “Melania” as a film that “doesn’t have a single redeeming quality,” comparing it to a “medieval tribute to placate the greedy king on his throne.” Brooks said the film offers few revelations about its subject, who “moves through the action like a listless automaton, talking constantly but saying nothing.” In another one-star review, The Independent critic Nick Hilton called the first lady a “scowling void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit of propaganda.” He suggested the film is “part sop to Big Tech companies who require constant regulatory approval for financial manoeuvrings,” citing Amazon’s big investment in the movie and appearances by billionaires Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who are included in footage of Trump’s inaugural celebrations. The Atlantic writer Sophie Gilbert called “Melania” a “disgrace,” criticizing Trump for profiting off the project while in office. Other critics said the documentary was aimless and that Trump appeared to be uncomfortable being filmed. Variety critic Daniel D’Addario said the documentary is “primarily a film about a woman walking into and out of rooms,” while Gilbert said Ratner “seems desperate to find action, but there is none, stating for much of the film, the camera captures Trump “walking from liminal place to liminal place in five-inch heels.”
Trump “walking from liminal place to liminal place in five-inch heels.”
The funny thing is I don't know if they're talking about melania or donald in his lifts
Hahahaha I had to reread bc I imagined Donald automatically and never questioned it.
Same! I thought - "wow this movie reviewer really threw down" then I remembered melania is also trump
Every time I see her pictures...I see Gold-digger, and she ain't messing with not broke.... Yeah we know what's you're all about Melania...
It was successful the day she got paid. After that, it doesn’t matter.
Love to see it, but yes, Bezos and Trump don't care since the bribe happened.
Currently a 5 (out of 100) Metacritic score, with a user review score of 0.6 (out of 10).
Rotten Tomatoes at 8 (out of 100). No user review score yet, but there's a big bot astroturfing campaign with 5-star reviews flooding the user reviews section.
A fantastic flick, our theater was sold out and erupted in applause and cheers at the end of the show.
I don't know, that definitely seems like a real person to me. /s
Why would it have been anything else?
It could have also been an ad for a scam product
Maybe she'll sell Trump brand gold vagina egg things like Gwyneth Paltrow
I mean, there are ads for this movie...
This film better win some razzies
Razzies give shitty movies attention.
This movie, like everything Trump, needs to be buried in a dump.
Hopefully it’s just shunned. But we all know there’s an academy award nomination on the way
it will be coming from FIFA right tomorrow!
Well whatever the awards are I bet orange one will steal them.
I'm pretty sure Donvict deserves a Nobel Peace prize for this movie.
