The first thing that stands out is that there’s not a hint of drama or conflict whatsoever. She’s not, but if you really like the idea of Donald and Melania Trump entering a room to applause, then good news for you: That happens about ten times in this movie, including five times on Inauguration Day alone. There is a key question at the heart of all this: Is Melania Trump interesting? I mean, I suppose there’s something compelling about the trajectory of her life story, most of which this film doesn’t touch on. It more resembles something that would be produced by the White House video team, only minus the overt hints of white nationalism.
