The Apprentice Biopic Premieres to Critical Acclaim

The new biopic 'The Apprentice,' directed by Ali Abbasi and written by Gabriel Sherman, premiered in New York City, attended by stars such as Anne Hathaway, who is a close friend of Jeremy Strong. The film, starring Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump and Strong as his mentor Roy Cohn, has been praised by critics as a 'gleeful' and fast-paced portrayal of Trump's rise as a real estate mogul in the 1970s and 80s. Critics have particularly lauded Stan's performance and noted the film's ability to humanize Trump while depicting his transformation into a controversial figure. The narrative highlights Trump's ambition and Cohn's influence as a ruthless lawyer known for his tactics during the Red Scare. The premiere, a glamorous event with a notable guest list, reflects the film's significant cultural impact.
