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.

As a portrait of a vestigial appendage to the dangerous machine dissolving democracy, "Melania" is merely a well shot marketing campaign for the luckiest Stepford wife as she spouts innocuous, vague details on First Lady expectations...

More PR campaign than personal portrait, Melania is an astonishingly dull documentary that masquerades as a glamorous immigrant story while offering little insight beyond carefully curated image-making.

Very interesting look into the lives of FLOTUS as she prepares for the inauguration. This was so much more enjoyable than an interview format.
