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.

I love how personal she gets. she's not afraid to be herself and show it too. Melania is so sophisticated and strong.

I loved this movie because it's an insiders' perspective of the three weeks around a presidential inauguration that has never been shown in this depth before. I admire the charity work Melania does for so many groups and her deep love for our country. Her wardrobe is gorgeous and she carries her position with such poise, grace, and class.

Loved it. Really showed us what the First Lady's days are like and how busy they always are. Her passion for fashion and America and our values shows. She is all about family and supporting the children. God bless her and President Trump.

This documentary shows Melania as a human being. Hard working empathetic and a good person all around. She seems to always be seen as a very stoic person.
