One particularly brutal review came from Nick Hilton, film critic for the Independent, who said that the first lady came off in the film as “a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness” who leads a “vulgar, gilded lifestyle.”

Hilton added that the film is so terrible that it fails even at being effective propaganda and is likely to be remembered as “a striking artifact... of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly.”

I think we can officially conclude 2026 is The Year Of The Scowling Void Of Pure Nothingness

I have zero doubts that MAGA money is being spent on buying out showings and that the propaganda machine is running at 110%. I also do not doubt that a lot of boomer and older Gen-X/Jones MAGA women in are going to see it. These are not.mutually exclusive things.

EDIT: the article is from The Hollywood Reporter, which is definitely not right leaning.
