Tale
The story of how a young Donald Trump started his real estate business in the 1970s and 1980s in New York with the help of the notorious lawyer Roy Cohn. Roger Stone, a longtime associate of Donald Trump and Roy M. Cohn, acknowledged that Jeremy Strong’s portrayal of Cohn was “unrivaled in its accuracy.” [From Trailer] Roy Cohn: Rule Three: No matter what happens, you claim victory and never admit defeat.

I watched this movie not knowing much, it just popped up on my radar on opening night so I had to check it out. I was expecting some tension in the cinema, but there wasn’t, which was a relief. Overall, I didn’t get any political vibes from the movie. As for accuracy, I can’t say for sure, but in America’s current climate, what is really accurate these days?
The acting was phenomenal
Some of the cast and production crew may win awards, if not the film itself. The story was decent, not very exciting but interesting because the main character used to be the president and everyone has an opinion about him. It was fascinating to get a glimpse into his life. Much of it seemed based in reality, though who really knows.
In fact, that’s one of his mantras, according to the film
It didn’t seem far, but there were definitely some cold and crazy moments. It’s basically about how Trump became Trump, which isn’t inherently interesting, but the appeal is a revealing look at such a private person. Private in the sense that we never really know if what he says is true. The movie didn’t affect my political views, but I recommend watching it, if only to support the team that took the risk with a film destined to receive negative reactions.
