The Apprentice showing October 25–30
Ali Abbasi’s The Apprentice takes a compelling dive into the pre-political life of Donald Trump, focusing on his relationship with mentor Roy Cohn and his early efforts to establish himself as a public figure. With performances by Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong, this biopic offers a complex exploration of ambition, power, and influence.
While some feared it might be a politically charged "hit piece," the film instead delivers a nuanced portrayal of Trump, treating the characters as real people with flaws, shaped by their circumstances and relationships.
