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 wonder 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?
Yes. Conservative groups are buying out whole theatres that then show the movie to empty seats.
There’s Craigslist ads paying people to go see it
