One particularly brutal review came from Nick Hilton, film critic for the Independent, who said that the first lady came off in the film as “a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness” who leads a “vulgar, gilded lifestyle.”
Hilton added that the film is so terrible that it fails even at being effective propaganda and is likely to be remembered as “a striking artifact… of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly.”
I think we can officially conclude 2026 is The Year Of The Scowling Void Of Pure Nothingness
That’s also an accurate description of narcissism—a void of nothingness. Those people only live on the outside, because they don’t exist within themselves
Why would movie critics go to see a money laundering attempt?
They don’t pay to go see it. They get paid to see it.
Because it’s their job? They can’t just watch what they like.
It’s a movie critics job to launder money?
No, the director is laundering money. The movie critic is the one stuck watching the crappy movies.
To dunk on it obvs
Remember when people tried to frame her as a victim? What stank of a person.
The funniest thing about this is she isn’t even hot. She looks like every soccer mom in every suburban town everywhere.
Way worse. Those vapid all american soccer moms have that MILF next door vibe, Melania just looks like an Eastern European prostitute possessed by a lizard.
She looks like every soccer mom in every suburban town everywhere
More like every self employed sex therapist hanging around hotel bars.
I wouldnt insult soccer moms like that, but I see what u saying.
It’s not an insult. I didn’t say soccer moms are all-encompassingly unattractive, just that she ain’t anything special. She’s a “super model” who looks like every lady in front of me at the super market.
She “was” a supermodel. Now she’s just a woman who gets cheated on, publicly, by her husband.
“They” “made” her a “super model”.
These dumb shits don’t get it. It was never supposed to be good. It was a bribe. Even wasting a second watching it to do a review is a waste of human effort.
No, insulting is absolutely worthwhile, do you think their goal was to get universal scorn?
It was just a 75mil payment from Amazon to trump. Movie was just the means to do the transaction.
The film industry is just one massive money laundering scheme.
Coincidentally, Ratner just got greenlit for Rush Hour 4, which had been in development hell since 2018.
Jackie Chan is the best. Must be a little long in the tooth now.
He’s a tool of the CCP.
Idk how you figure that. He is an actor, of course he’s going to have relations to his home country.
He’s always been a scummy fuck. He’s good with kicks and punches, sure, and he figures heavily in the Panama papers. He’s connected.
Yeah, but you wonder if he’d sign on to Rush Hour 4 now, knowing the director was in the Epstein files.
I don’t understand the spending of millions on marketing.
As usual, people are giving way too much credit to Trump. The money wasn’t given to him, it was spent on making the shitty movie.
Money laundering opportunity?
Yes, which is normal film industry stuff.
Which is a money laundering utopia.
Even so, they had a massive budget, a competent director, and they didn’t manage to produce something that paints her in a good light.
The best way to launder money is to have a front that is legit. This way it pass the smell test if you just plug your nose a little.
I would assume bribes work the same way.
Oh he’s competent alright.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s scum, but he’s an experienced director with several well-received movies under his belt. Both can be true.
Funny way to spell complicit
Stupid way to ignore that guy’s point.
Malicious compliance?
That head would look great on a pike outside the city walls.
ew her nails
Ew her
Lizard fingers
$75m bribe*
The 28 was just the advertising part iirc.
No. the 28M was for her per reporting. They still had to make the movie and advertise it.
Why did they have to advertise it?
Made God breath through his nose a little harder than usual.
breathe*
This is becoming the new word that people just seem unable to get right and it is just as easy to understand as all the other common ones. It’s seriously like there’s a conscious campaign to make more and more people forget more and more basic words and grammar, and most of those that make those mistakes are American. You gotta be so dumb to not get this right.
I’m still flabbergasted how often people misspell “Epstein”. Like, bruh, at this point…
What does that mean? I remember something on it’s always sunny about that. I presume it’s a smiting.
You know. Like that, almost laugh thing you do when something is just. Barely, funny enough.
Personally. I’m hoping when we fly these wax wings all the way to the sun and everything works out so great that a true artist and historian team up to make a mockumentary about the “Melania” production.
You have to sell the con or else someone might catch on.
Who makes a movie and then doesn’t advertise it? Only fake movie and this is definitely not a fake movie. 😉😉
Bribe taxes
I hate that our country has become so fascist that this dumb bitch’s movie failing feels like a victory.
I hope she ends up like Mussolini’s girlfriend
Or Elena Ceausescu.
The old story. Churches and other MAGA groups are buying blocks of seats. It’s playing to “sold out” empty houses.
I love that this quote applies to both the movie and the actual person.
i assume some kind of hollywood accounting where they can write the unprofitable movie off their taxes
This is half of it. The other half is the $30M bribe rendered to the Trump family, effectively laundered under the guise of making a documentary. They’ll make their money back coming and going.
I wish it was nothing, but for Canadians, America is a big scowling dictatorship of pure evil.
Take your fucking country back.
I love Canada, but this holier than thou mindset I keep seeing is getting tired. Remember Poilievre was polling ~20 points higher than Carney, until Trump started his 51st state horse shit. The entire world seems to be swinging right, and Canada just got lucky this time.
We are all in this together whether you want to be or not.
Indeed. All of europe will fall if we don’t get popular reform to challenge the far right, now backed by the US and Russia, running themselves as reform and all other major parties captured by the establishments/oligarchies.
this holier than thou mindset
It’s totally okay not to project. It’s okay to just be concerned and worried and insignificant like the rest of us without alienating your best refugee destination.
Not with these democrats and these dumb motherfuckers still trust them. They are quite vicious about it too.
This is shocking 😲 /s!
Honestly I am shaken, if something this good could fail what is the meaning of anything?
Nick Hilton… said that the first lady came off in the film as “a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness” who leads a “vulgar, gilded lifestyle.”
He’s saying it’s accurate then?
