Imagine the reaction in the bourgeois press if a movie like this had been made in any Communist country, or even a modestly progressive country. Or even a somewhat conservative neo-liberal country the U.S. decided to hate. If it had been about a Russian president who starts dating again after losing his wife.
Here's an actual line from the movie:
"Sydney, the man is the leader of the free world! He's brilliant, funny, handsome!"
I was surprised to learn that not everyone thought this abomination was a morbid romantic fantasy about Bill Clinton getting over Hillary's death.
