The “MELANIA” documentary debuted at the top of Amazon Prime’s streaming charts after premiering earlier this week — and Americans across the country continue to share their reactions to the first lady’s film and its high points.
The documentary follows 20 days in Melania Trump’s life just before President Donald Trump‘s second term in office. It hit the streaming service Monday.
“MELANIA” became the most-streamed film on the platform and the most-streamed content overall in the United States just one day after its streaming premiere, according to Flix Patrol and as Fox News Digital previously reported.
THE ONE WORD MELANIA TRUMP INSISTED ON ADDING TO THE PRESIDENT’S INAUGURATION SPEECH
“I watched the new ‘MELANIA’ movie with my wife last night, and we both agreed it was a masterpiece,” wrote a man on X. “The film quality is out of this world.”
Another person wrote, “I watched ‘MELANIA’ yesterday. What a great film. FLOTUS is so talented, and can capture and tell a story. Film is well done. Not the ‘normal’ documentary. Kudos to all involved.”
“This film is worth its weight in gold,” yet another X user said.
“I agree with you. Watching it really shows the strength it must take for Melania Trump to live that kind of public life,” wrote a different user. “It can’t be an easy lifestyle at all. I also appreciate her sharing that side of her world.”
An entirely different user wrote, “Just watched ‘MELANIA.’ Campest film I’ve ever seen.”
Said another person, “It starts slowly, but by the end you want to applaud loudly. Melania is so kind, generous, thoughtful and so sincerely caring. I’m so glad this film highlights her best qualities, of which there are many. We are so fortunate to have this extraordinary lady representing our country.“
The one-hour and 44-minute film received 3.5 out of 5 stars, with 67% of reviews rating the film with 5 stars on Prime Video.

On Inauguration Day, Trump wound up echoing her suggestion.
“My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. That’s what I want to be: a peacemaker and a unifier,” he said — as he then turned around to acknowledge her.
Another scene in the film depicts a meeting of the first couple with the director of the U.S. Secret Service, Sean Curran, and an event-planning leader.
In the scene, the first lady is shown expressing serious concerns about the inaugural parade, which, due to weather concerns, was eventually moved inside, to the relief of Mrs. Trump.
She also noted that their son, Barron, would not be OK with getting out of the car at public stops.
In another scene, she is shown speaking French during a discussion of the “Be Best” initiative with Brigitte Macron — underscoring her multifaceted background and fluency in five languages.

It was also revealed that the one-year anniversary of the passing of Mrs. Trump’s mother, Amalija Knavs, took place on the same day of President Jimmy Carter‘s funeral, on Jan. 9, 2025.
