Appended to The Guardian's review of "Melania":
"The star rating for this film was corrected on 2 February 2026. A formatting issue led an earlier version to be awarded one star, when the reviewerโs intention was zero."

Melania review โ Trump film is a gilded trash remake of The Zone of Interest

Hey, editors: These are not normal times. Don't strive for restraint in the face of fascism. Strive for making the facts clear as a way of combatting the lies.
