The movie itself is pretty low-key, but that makes up for it a lot
But that doesn’t mean the story of Trump’s rise to power, and perhaps notoriety, shouldn’t be brought to a wider audience through a medium like film, despite what the man himself and some of his disciples may say. Good performances from Sebastian Stan as Trump and especially Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn, his creepy, criminally twisted, Machiavellian lawyer. Everything in the script has been written about before in one form or another, so there are no new revelations or surprises here.
There are some insights into the 20th century
New York in the mid-1970s and how messed up that place was – again, all well-documented and portrayed in film over the years, but relevant to the narrative of this film. The birth of nascent neoliberalism in the 1970s, along with its evolution during the Reagan administration, allowed Trump to build his empire in an unregulated laissez-fayre system. He was also part of the celebrity culture that flourished at the time, and he was well supported by his wife Ivana, beautifully played by Marija Bakalova.
I’d just like to watch it, try to put all political loyalties aside and enjoy it for what it is
