Movies like Melania

“Melania (2026) is a United States 2020s documentary that chronicles twenty days of inauguration preparation through embedded access to a First Lady-elect. It stages a conflict between private ritual and public spectacle, using high-contrast observational cinematography to isolate choreography and intimate exchange. The film reframes political theater as a study of gendered power and collective ritual, arguing that the choreography of state ceremony reveals ideological work performed within family life.”
