Very amateurish video, too sloppily made to take seriously. A properly-shot interview or discussion shows two people conversing, not two separate figures wearing massive headphones, one obviously reading from a visible autocue and talking into radio-studio microphones.

Past that, is is primarily one man waffling at great speed, telling some other bloke his thoughts about what he portrays as a pointless, money-making Trump-narcissism.

Who are these blokes? The corner says Kermode and Mayo. There is a Mark Kermode who is a radio presenter of decades of experience, but if this is the same Kermode he is out of his depth as a TV / video presenter - and so is their production company.

Neither discussion nor interview. The other bloke, not allowed a word in sideways, is irrelevant to the man with the laptop.

Not proper critique: no balance, no judgement. We learn only that the film is just an advertisement for the President's missus. We know of course the US President's wife is just that, of no constitutional significance.

No pause for breath. All rapid-fire waffle. We are not allowed to absorb, think, question.

No coherence. One bloke's opinions on random bits he describes.

Poor relevance. Melania uses pieces of music that happen to have been used in other, pure-entertainment, fiction films; so this inept critic invents emotional connections.

No clips from the film, but I expect Amazon refuses that.

The opening photo is of a woman whom I asssume we are to take is Mrs. Trump, if we would not recognise her. Is it a real photograph of a real woman in a car on an airfield? The image of her has a peculiarly unreal, waxy look as if either very heavily retouched, or totally artificial.


In short, the video is a very bad attempt at reviewing a self-commissioned film of no significance about a woman of no relevance (outside her own family).
