As a creative-writer, pianist, singer,
perfectionist, lover of classical music and art-l
found Melania unexpectedly moving. The
documentary opens her inner sanctum, and in
doing so, created a quiet sense of sisterhood. I
didn't see a distant public figure; I saw
someone achingly real-like watching your
sister on her wedding day or hearing your
daughter's name called at graduation. There
she is. Her elegance is unmistakable, yet the
vulnerability is what lingers. She is refined
without artifice, reserved yet deeply expressive.
The film is not about Donald Trump-au
contraire. It feels more like peering into the
private life of a royal from afar, and realizing
with pride: she is my First Lady. It has been a
long time since young women-and grown ones
-had a woman of such standalone strength to
admire. Her quiet power rivals that of any great
woman who has ever held a throne. Highly
recommend, regardless of political persuasion.
