‘Face Like a Fist’ and ‘Pure, Endless Hell’: Critics Slam Melania Doco
CNN analyst Harry Enten forecasts low critic scores below 20% and weak sales despite Amazon's $75 million investment and wide global release of Melania Trump's documentary.
- On Friday, CNN analyst Harry Enten predicted a 73 percent chance of a sub-20 percent score for Melania Trump's documentary, expecting harsh reviews.
- Amazon MGM Studios spent $40 million to license the film and $35 million on marketing, while the first lady had strong creative input as an executive producer.
- Early reviews were scathing, with major outlets including The Guardian and Hollywood Reporter calling the film fawning and critics saying it feels like propaganda rather than a documentary.
- Opening in around 1,500 cinemas globally, advance ticket sales were in single digits at many theaters, with UK cinemas showing plenty of available seats on Friday.
- Critics raised conflict-of-interest concerns about Amazon and warned it faces heavy financial exposure compared with Taylor Swift's $34 million film, with commentators likening the financing to a payoff.
