For a genuine work of art, yes.
For what could as well have been 90 minutes of plain black film and silence for all that it matters to the true payload of bribery and syncophancy, I’m not sure there’s a there there that needs understanding.
I’d like to see Slavoj Žižek reviewing the film from the cultural critic perspective, and whatever he might say about his fellow countrywoman.
This brought to mind a concept for an essentially identical film that could have been made for practically nothing and had exactly the same effect.
The film I’m imagining consists simply of a series of still images of Melania doing Ultra-Rich-Folk things, like instructing the staff about table place settings, selecting tasteless but expensive artwork, firing the gardener with an imperious gesture because the roses are not to her liking, etc. But it would still be a hit if narrated by an appropriately obsequious sycophant – I’m thinking either Laura Loomer or Natalie Harp. (Harp is the “human printer” who follows Trump around feeding his narcissism with positive news articles.)
The film would have to omit private activities such as putting on ten pounds of makeup or taking a shit.
Radical right wing propagandist Ingrid Jacques tells us:
The critics HATE it, giving it a lousy score of just 10%, according to Rotten Tomatoes (compare that with the 93% score critics gave the 2020 documentary “Becoming” about former first lady Michelle Obama).
Yet, the Americans heading to the theater to watch “Melania” have a vastly different takeaway. They’ve given it a score of 99%.
Imagine that. A movie designed to appeal only to cult members has high ratings from the only people that would bother to go to it- cult members.
Yer usin’ that logic-stuff, ain’t 'cha, Pilgrim. We know how to deal with that around here, don’t we, boys?
Mark Kermode agreed to watch and review in exchange for a fan donation to charity. His review was brutal and frank:
BTW the top comment under that review on YouTube bears quoting:
I loved the part when Sigourney Weaver picked her up with a forklift and threw her out of the airlock.
That was great. I’d never heard of him, but evidently he’s a well known British movie reviewer. While the link is to a video, the transcript is available there and it’s a quick, sadly hilarious read.
He compares the movie unfavorably to Cannibal Holocaust.
And to The Serbian Movie which I thought was much more insulting.
A much more definitive sequel to A Serbian Film?
Yeah, when I saw that in the transcript, I thought he was dissing Serbian movies - I didn’t know it was a title!
I prefer The Great Serbian Caper.
Or an old school nature documentarist like Attenborough who plays it completely straight and never breaks character.
.., and here… in it’s native habitat… we find one of the few remaining examples of this species… the gold-diggerus icequeenius. Unique amongst primates in having almost no facial expressions whatever, it lives its life entirely as a parasite… clinging to the back of another species of parasite… the billionaris narcissii…

It occurs to me that this film would be fertile ground for MST3K treatment! Either that, or cut the sound completely, and substitute appropriately snarky narration. This could be a real money maker for a creative individual or group. As a bonus, it would infuriate both the Orange One and the Gold Digger.
Excellent!
Someone reshot the trailer for Melania with Miss Piggy instead of Melania.
If you don’t know what “A Serbian Film” is about, keep it that way.
I could see it working like a literal music video, or a Bad Lip Reading production.
Heh. I’ve mentioned it before, but a sports bar I used to frequent, held “Cheesy Action Movie Nights” on Sundays, when business was typically slow (outside of NFL season, of course). There was a channel that would show Chuck Norris films and Sylvester Stallone films (not like Rocky, more like Over the Top and Death Race 2000) and other action pictures on Sundays, and we’d watch with the sound off, supplying the dialogue ourselves. One of the guys was surprisingly good at imitating Stallone, and he always cracked us up.
Sadly, Covid put an end to that sports bar, and our cheesy Sunday action movie nights, but your post reminded me that if we could get that old crowd together, and show Melania, it sounds like we’d have a field day with it.
I should mention that Kermode is a big fan of Cannibal Holocaust (for what it is) and wrote his PhD dissertation on modern English and American horror fiction.
I very strongly second this.
