moviegoers, most of whom were older white women, liked what they saw on screen. “Melania” earned an “A” grade on CinemaScore and 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, a vast discrepancy from the 8% Rotten Tomatoes average it received from critics.

Nothing suspicious about that at all...

It's possible that the kind of people who would choose to watch this movie actually do like it.

Maybe... but It's only 99% from "verified accounts", when you include non verified reviews it drops to 30%.

Additionally, all these verified accounts have usernames with either their first name, or their first name with the last initial (Jane or Mark F for example), many of them also don't go into detail with their reviews, it's just shit like:

Great movie! A must see.

Beautifully done! Sophistication and class. Amazing First Lady!

Great overall movie.

And so much more...

I am sure some magats loved it, but these reviews are total BS.

Barely need Russian troll farms anymore; just trained bots will handle a lot.

And then, pointing that stuff out doesn't make nearly the difference one might hope, as the message is primarily geared towards non-thinkers / binary-thinkers, anyway.
