The Apprentice - Movie Review | TRUMP At the OSCARS?!

[@slaycj2413]

I went to see it today. Sebastian’s performance was spot on. I grew up in the NJ/NYC area & the legal woes and media coverage are factual.

[@pdatnc]

Same. He was hated/laughed at/tolerated

[@warrenginmartini]

The hairpiece should get a nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

[@ardenseyefineart]

Both actors carried the story, which felt and looked like it was “based on truth” not lies. Jeremy Strong’s body language, facial expressions, eyes and words convinced me about Roy Cohn’s person, a very bad man among many. Cohn apparently died of AIDS. The movie helped me understand Trump’s chronic deception now and why people worship him as ‘a strong man and leader,’ and then vote for him: they do it because he told them to, lied until they believe it. From the movie: “The only thing that matters is winning…The 3 rules: 1) attack attack attack, 2) admit nothing, deny everything, claim you won even if you didn’t, and 3) be ready to harm others, even if they helped you, do whatever it takes, legal or not, to win.”. The movie makes sense of who Trump has always been and is now.

Saw it. Great acting and cohesive storyline. I lived in walking distance from the Commodore Hotel when it was renovated and rebranded as the Hyatt Grand Central. I remember the controversy over the tax exemption Trump obtained. It was a nostalgia movie for me to watch.

[@robbriner9575]

Yesterday I drove about ten miles away, to a cineplex to see the just released movie The Apprentice (about Trump in the 1970s and 80s). At the 4pm screening I was one of nine people in the audience, and my review is: Since I unfortunately started paying attention to Donald Trump when he descended his “golden” escalator at the Trump Tower on June 16, 2015 to begin his first political campaign - almost ten years ago - nothing in this movie was new to me but as a biography it hit ALL the notes about him in the 1970s and 80s. This movie was well written (100% plausible dialog and situations), superbly acted and produced, and when it ended after two hours I felt dirty and in need of a hot shower.

[@Aladan57]

I didn't know what to expect when I saw this film. When the film starts, they try to make Trump a sympatric character. I thought, here we go. They're making him someone to admire. I was wrong. The tone of the film shifts. It gets darker and darker as it goes on. The eerie soundtrack sets the tone. You start to dislike Donald Trump. You see him for the monster he really is. The movie ends on an ominous note. It's like a warning of what's to come.

[@JudiRadin]

Jeremy Strong will be nominated for an oscar

[@johnmalahy]

Glad to hear your take on this. There's been so much noise about it, but it's been difficult to get a sense of what kind of a movie-watching experience it is.

[@RyanCasselman]

Thanks! The reception has been mixed on it too. I was bracing for sloppy movie maybe. I was surprised though by how much I liked it. Cheers!

Roy was a Mob Lawyer ; not a Prosecutor.

[@michaelz9892]

Surprisingly very good film.

[@donzwaaneveld9437]

Great impression 😂

[@cifratv]

saw it last Friday and thought it was a masterpiece that talks from the past, about our present and just uses Trump as an example, as he's Cohn today, for many other Apprentices, worldwide. You can't really understand the events of the extreme right and neofascism spreading in the world today, unless you understand how its biggest mentor, got to be like he is. A necessary film and all three stars deserve Oscar consideration. It doesn't matter that Bakalova has a more limited role (in comparison), Beatrice Straight won the Oscar for a way more limited one.

[@CamMcGinn1981]

I love that Trump Streisand Effected this film. LOL

[@jeffreyjeziorski1480]

May I just say WOO HOO to that beauty pagent queen with the million dollar smile!!! She watches and comments on movies as well. What a keeper. Subscribed.

[@skontheroad]

COHN. 1 syllable. Not Cohen. And he was a real A-hole. But this was before anyone knew what words like "Empathy" meant.... it was a very different world back then...

[@LeviBulger]

You think people didn't know what the word Empathy meant? 😂

[@DaveNetWorld]

Thanks for the review Ryan, looking forward to it. Happy to be here with you for another long Oscar's season. I think he has a shot at Best Actor. I'm thinking Adrien Brody, Colman Domingo & Ralph Fiennes are locks but I can see Sebastian Stan sneaking in. Since Queer is receiving a mixed reaction I'm not too sure about Daniel Craig's chances, I took him out for now. Still waiting on reactions to movies like Gladiator II, A Complete Unknown & Juror #2 to get a clearer picture.

[@skontheroad]

I am looking forward to it! I remember his hey day! I am interested to see how they deliver the experience (my HS years in Manhattan, where I am from), to the viewer.

[@suzieannie1]

I thought this was a brilliant and amazingly shot film. Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong should be nominated without any doubt as their performances were subtle and at the same time, intense. Please, please, though - review Sebastian Stans's superb movie " A Different Man" . Absolutely unbelievable. Never seen a movie like it. And - he won The Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival for that performance. Honestly - he has absolutely smashed it twice this year with two very award worthy performances. Your review was very well done by the way.

[@paraworth]

Brilliant movie The leading actors were superb. The USA is in the hands of villains both sides are crocked

[@sophieoshaughnessy9469]

You think Trump will became less relevant come January? From your lips to gods ears. I feel like win or lose he’ll still be on loudspeaker. Ugh. But I so hope you’re right.

[@moviesandmusic5055]

What percentage do you give Stan for being nominated for Oscar? Cant wait to see it

[@RyanCasselman]

I wanna say 45% Only because it looks like an uphill battle for this to get that Best Picture nom. I feel like IF Stan is in, then so is Picture and so is Supporting Actor. It's hard to separate those three. My best guess is the film won't make the cut in any category due to just timing. Also, Stan doesn't sound like Trump that much in the first half. It's intentional and thought it was the perfect choice, I'm not sure the Academy members will see it the same way. I'm crossing my fingers though. I'd like to see it. 🙂 Cheers!

[@Paris-ei5yv]

I asked for this review, until I found you guys. I saw it today , it was very well made. The acting of Stan and Kohn is mesmerizing , I didn’t know what to expect either, just was curious to see it, I believe the whole Deny, Deny, Deny and never admit defeat or failure it’s exactly how he lives his life, and we as Americans have paid the price, because he just won’t go away and accept he’s too old and a convicted felon now, anyway. I don’t think his mentor made him who he is I think he brought the real DJT out. All in all I give the movie a 8/10. 👍

[@LatoyaMalone-lx1tu]

The movie was great hopefully its a part 2

[@kevjohnson7928]

[@watchxfiles]

He spoke like that. Check the documentaries

[@MattJaissleFilms]

Its the rape of his wife (scene) that hes mad about. To his defence, even ivanna did eventually say it never actually happened.

[@monicae0601]

After she was paid

[@carolcisko6768]

But he is a serial abuser of women so really?

[@slaycj2413]

She never said it didn’t happen. She claimed that she mislabeled what he did to her. Whatever that means.

[@Lifeislove2]

lol, well what did you think she was gonna say??? Nobody makes up a story like that about their husband unless it happened.

[@watchxfiles]

It did happen. He threatened to not pay her her prenuptial. He won in the end. Look where she is buried

[@patricksullivan7140]

Jeremy Strong being in this movie makes me want to watch. I am a Trump supporter. Trump's whole life has been an open book anyway. Might as well check it out .

[@mariabrackin9465]

Then why hasn’t he ever released his non altered tax documents or health records?

A movie written by a Democrat from Vanity Fair and MSNBC with an Iranian director.....seems as legit as Kamala's 60 minutes interview

[@darrylynwoodson283]

The script was reviewed and financed by a supporter,who sued to keep it from being shown in movies.

[@darrylynwoodson283]

As a native NYer the movie was accurate. I didn’t know Cohn had given him his rules to live by but even now he’s still asking for His Roy Cohn.

[@callme_williams]

I think Trump has more things to be worried about next year than the Oscars after he loses the election again for the second time in a roll.

[@ikkespillendekarakter3924]

Keep dreaming.

[@patricksullivan7140]

Not gonna happen. 😂

[@johnscott2218]

Rasmussen polls show The Communist Democrat Party candidate HAS NO PATHWAY TO victory as of October 12, 2024. Cope harder.....

[@JaniceDonahue-k2x]

The movie was good. I worked in Manhattan at this time. If the movie was about anyone else, I'd say go for it. Being it's about Trump, anything that will fill his ego is not a good thing. We are going to deal with him when he loses this election. There is no need for any more drama.

[@fredricclack7137]

Shallow NVR Deep! 🤬☯️

Stop making fun of Trump's voice. He has the best voice ever heard. I don't know personally, that is just what everyone keeps telling me. You would be amazed how many people keep mentioning how amazing Trump's voice is.
