Melania Trump documentary opens to underwhelming reception: ‘It’s not a gripping film’
$75m Amazon-produced paean to the first lady saw empty seats and faint praise as it opened in New York City
“I didn’t dislike it as much as I thought I would,” said Jim Behrle, a Democrat who said he had gone to see the film because he “thought it might be funny”.
“There was some interesting stuff in it. There were some interesting characters, and some of the footage is shot really well,” Behrle, 52, added.
“There’s not a lot of rising action in the film at all. I mean, there’s not a lot of conflict or anything like that, but seeing some of the behind-the-scenes stuff is pretty interesting.”
Behrle said he watched Melania in part because he has a monthly pass to the theater which allows him to watch as many movies as he likes for $29. Despite being surprised by how little he disliked the movie, he is unlikely to recommend it to friends and family.
“It’s not a gripping film,” he said.
