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

It was just a 75mil payment from Amazon to trump. Movie was just the means to do the transaction.

    Even so, they had a massive budget, a competent director, and they didn't manage to produce something that paints her in a good light.

    I hate that our country has become so fascist that this dumb bitch's movie failing feels like a victory.

    I wish it was nothing, but for Canadians, America is a big scowling dictatorship of pure evil.

    Take your fucking country back.

    I love Canada, but this holier than thou mindset I keep seeing is getting tired. Remember Poilievre was polling ~20 points higher than Carney, until Trump started his 51st state horse shit. The entire world seems to be swinging right, and Canada just got lucky this time.

    We are all in this together whether you want to be or not.

    Indeed. All of europe will fall if we don't get popular reform to challenge the far right, now backed by the US and Russia, running themselves as reform and all other major parties captured by the establishments/oligarchies.

    I love that this quote applies to both the movie and the actual person.

    The old story. Churches and other MAGA groups are buying blocks of seats. It's playing to "sold out" empty houses.

    At least Eva Braun was interesting.

    Mel brooks should do a Producers about Maga. Too soon?

    Because the only people who'd ever see it are either members of the cult or reviewers being paid to see it.

    1% of the audience being reviewers and the rest deciding that it's amazing before seeing it and not changing their mind when proven wrong sounds pretty plausible 🤷

    These dumb shits don't get it. It was never supposed to be good. It was a bribe. Even wasting a second watching it to do a review is a waste of human effort.

    Nick Hilton... said that the first lady came off in the film as “a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness” who leads a “vulgar, gilded lifestyle.”

    He's saying it's accurate then?

    What's the point in review-bombing when it's so obvious?

    The funniest thing about this is she isn't even hot. She looks like every soccer mom in every suburban town everywhere.

    That's also an accurate description of narcissism—a void of nothingness. Those people only live on the outside, because they don't exist within themselves

    A scowling void of pure nothingness

    Sounds like a sick video game summon.

    75 million dollars. 75. Million. Dollars.

    How much of it went to the crew and other people who actually made the damn thing?

    Or even used for their benefit in other way, for that matter - I'm asking because apparently the crew did overtime hours with no food while the director lorded over the underlings and stuffed his face. (Don't do overtime if your boss isn't personally ordering you a ton of pizza, guys.)

    I wonder if it's like book sales, where a publisher or other entity buys a ton of copies to make it a "Best-seller". Are the seats being filled, or are the tickets just bought out to make it appear more successful?

    I loved the one from the Guardian comparing it to Zone of Interest. Utterly boring but makes you think about the off-screen horrors of the Trump regime
