Melania Trump’s documentary is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, offering an intimate look into her life and behind-the-scenes moments. The film, directed by Brett Ratner, generated great interest and positive audience response, receiving a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Its OTT release promises wider global reach for those interested in its story.
The documentary “Melania” is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video starting March 9. The film offers audiences a look into Melania Trump’s life in the lead-up to an important event.
The documentary covers personal events, connections and behind-the-scenes footage that the audience would not have otherwise seen. For this reason, the project aroused curiosity even before its release. Many viewers were eager to see a film that promised a more personal and detailed look at her journey. Its availability on the OTT platform allows the general audience to access the documentary and watch it from home.
The director returns with a new project
The film is directed by Brett Ratner, and comes after a long hiatus from directing. Brett Ratner is known for directing the hit action comedy series “Rush Hour”. This documentary is his first major directorial project in nearly a decade. Due to this long gap, the film generated huge interest among viewers and industry observers. Many people were curious to know how the director would handle the documentary format and present the story of a well-known public figure.
The project also brought renewed attention to Ratner’s work behind the camera.

Strong interest even before release
The documentary generated buzz even before it hit theaters, with Amazon MGM Studios reportedly acquiring the streaming rights for $75 million. This was significant and indicated that the project could attract a large number of viewers. During its theatrical release, many felt that the film exceeded expectations for a documentary.
It attracted nearly $7 million in its opening weekend, and the film’s global box office total was just over $16.6 million.
This number was, as it should be in a documentary, clear evidence that people were interested in the content.
Positive audience response and wider reach
According to The Independent, the film was produced at a cost of $40 million, but required a budget of $35 million for marketing. On the contrary, the film ended up with a strong reception from audiences. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a critics score of 98%, which is based on verified viewer ratings. This shows that many people liked the film and that its story was well received. Since the film is now available on OTT, it can be assumed that this will provide wider global access to the film and to viewers interested in learning more about Melania’s story.
