First Lady (2018)
1/10
Don't believe the good ratings. This movie is dreadful.

I hate having to drop a bad review on someone's independent effort, but this movie is terrible. I give it one star, pretty much for the lighting and settings.

As to the film's shortcomings...the whole thing screens like a bad reality TV show. Which isn't a big surprise, as the main actor (Nicole Alexander) is apparently from a reality TV show. You can tell she is trying to act, but she doesn't have the range, emotion, or experience to pull off any scenes.

The camera moves like a drunk man in some scenes, but is rock steady in others. In a couple of switch scenes, one scene is steady and the other cam bobs around. Who thought that was fun to watch?

Every line of dialog is stilted and forced, and most of the time is poorly acted. The lines are really, really bad at times. The child actor's lines are so awful as to be laughable.

Some supporting cast members are decent enough actors for a no-budget film, but the abysmal dialog spoils any chance of success in the role. Characters are all cardboard cut-outs of stereotypical tropes.

There's no point in discussing the screenplay or plot problems. It's as if you forced a teenager to watch a week of reality-TV and urban crime drama shows and then asked them to write a movie.

If you are a big fan of Ms. Alexander or whatever TV show she was in, you might find this film interesting. Other than that, skip it. Really awful.
