Audience Member "People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?" This is when complete madness and lunacy becomes extremely fascinating and interesting. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This film shows a different account on the Marcos' imperial phase. A terribly funny documentary, Ramona Diaz brilliantly digs these traps for the queen bee former First Lady's word vomit. It opens eyes as well as old wounds, all the while being a highly entertaining documentary thanks to the perfumed weirdo that is Imelda Marcos. The only flaw is Imelda herself - at first the most confident even inspirational empowerment figure only to look like a total mess because of her ideology. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member It's amazing how the filmmakers show the narcissistic state of this woman simply by letting her speak uninterrupted. I love the more avante garde style of the film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Imelda captures the sadly humorous side of dictatorships, where with a certain friendly attitude, political smartness, and pop-culture ascetic appreciation can the masses be propitiated, even years after the regime has fallen. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Marcos is somehow impermeable, she believed wholly in a godliness and innocence; and that is what makes this documentary a bit more unique from the rest. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant documentary on the queen of vanity.
