I want to get into the meat also, but, you know, how did this movie even come to be?

At one point in the movie, Melania says, I intend to break norms as first lady.

I mean, that's why you don't do it.
Onto the film in its substance, Melania Trump said that the movie was a never-before-seen look into her life.
