The Apprentice review: Sebastian Stan is 'excellent' as a young Donald Trump

BBC  

The Apprentice review: Sebastian Stan is 'excellent' as a young Donald Trump Cannes Film Festival The Apprentice documents the relationship between Donald Trump and his mentor Roy Cohn With Sebastian Stan as the young Donald Trump and Jeremy Strong as his notoriously vicious lawyer mentor Roy Cohn, The Apprentice is part "compellingly cynical buddy movie", part conventional biopic. Taking its name from a certain television series, The Apprentice is a shrewd and darkly amusing tragicomedy that dramatises Donald Trump's rise to fame and fortune in the 1970s and 80s. The Apprentice Director: Ali Abbasi Cast: Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong, Maria Bakalova Run time: 2hrs Stan nails Trump's movements and facial expressions, but he makes the wise decision not to attempt an impersonation or a caricature, instead playing the character as an insecure and impressionable lost soul who has no idea how to have a conversation, and who keeps stopping besides parked cars to check how his wispy hair looks in their windows. The second half of The Apprentice becomes a more conventional biopic, working its way through Donald's successful and less successful business ventures, and chronicling his toxic relationship with his first wife Ivana.
