The Apprentice - Alle origini di Trump - Recensioni

...a riveting if familiar account of Donald Trump's years spent at Roy Cohn's knee.

There is, of course, a fear that a film like “The Apprentice” might pose a dangerous chance to endear this buffoon to audiences.

Jeremy Strong is the Trump card in measured biopic of the Donald.

Sebastian Stan expertly depicts Trump's rise from raw hustler to larger-than-life tycoon.

...a story whose central character wouldn’t really justify the telling of said story in normal circumstances, except for the fact that he eventually became a ruinous president of the United States.

...Ali Abbasi’s The Apprentice proves entertaining enough, thanks in large part to its self-reflexive visual cues drawn from the different media eras in which the two halves are set.

...undoubtedly humanizes Trump, but not in a way that softens him. If anything, it makes his nightmarish ascent and oafish brutality easier to grasp and even more terrifying.

This may be a film about a guy who’ll do anything for attention, but The Apprentice is clever enough to succeed without doing the same.

Excellent, authentic, and not what you expect, this biopic prompts the question: Can you handle the truth?

The mentor/protégé relationship between two terrible people makes for compelling, well-acted drama.

Succession’s Jeremy Strong steals this solid Trump biopic.

...a compelling tragedy that also mashes up the ‘80s style ambition of Scarface with the creation myth of Frankenstein.

Transformationen av den blivande presidentkandidaten från tafatt till odräglig är härligt äcklig biounderhållning.
