Heard from my aunt that this is actually really, really good. Will still probably wait until it is streaming, as it pretty much takes a guaranteed banger to get me to go to the movies.
Your aunt is lying to you.
You saw it? I have been told on here it is taboo to critique movies or shows that you have not personally watched yourself.
I saw it on Sunday afternoon.
EDIT: It's a movie that would have made vague sense in 2016 when she and Trump were the outsiders in DC. she was a wholly unique first lady back then, completely. I can't think of any woman who would have found that transition more bizarre dating back to the 1910s when Woodrow Wilson married a woman while he was already president.
Honestly, it could have been interesting. Make it about Election Night 2016, which really was historic, or make it about COVID times in the White House, or make it about the 24 hours before and after Trump was almost assassinated.
But this? It's like having a really rich socialite decide she needs a documentary about a big party she's having. It's something that Kris Jenner would do. I kept thinking of the socialite girl in "The Good Place' throughout it. Maybe this plays in countries like England where there is a section of the population always slobbering over what the royals are up to, but I'm still not sure what the point of the film was.
My grandmother has been dead for 18 years, but watching it, I could imagine her saying, "If you need to tell people how glamorous you are, you're not glamorous."
