The reviews have been scathing, of course they have. There are film critics out there who would have slated a documentary by and about Melania Trump if it had been filmed by Jean Luc Godard -who, incidentally, is the subject of an alternative cinematic offer this weekend. But for those who complain of two hours of boredom, may I just refer them to the title of the documentary, Melania? And to the giveaway detail that she is co-producer?The issue is there, upfront. If you don’t like Melania Trump - or, more probably, Donald Trump - to the point where seeing lots of her and some of him is actually a neuralgic thing, this may not be for you.
But for those who accept what it’s about - Melania, curated by Melania (this may be mostly political nerds) it’s rather fascinating. It’s a bid by a woman who has been patronised and dismissed by people who should know better to present her own take on herself.
