Netflix has just added a controversial biographical drama about Donald Trump's rise to power, sparking debate and critical acclaim. The film, titled 'The Apprentice', was nominated for two Oscars and partially funded by Irish investors. It offers a gritty portrayal of Trump's early life in 1970s New York, showcasing his father's real estate empire and the family's legal troubles. The movie also delves into Trump's relationship with the infamous lawyer Roy Cohn, who mentors the young businessman and teaches him cut-throat tactics. The real-life Trump has been highly critical, attempting to block its release and condemning it on social media. Despite the controversy, the film received praise for its performances, particularly Jeremy Strong's portrayal of Cohn, which was deemed Oscar-worthy. The review highlighted the film's gripping narrative, sharp critical eye, and its ability to capture Trump's moral transformation. The Apprentice is now streaming on Netflix, offering a unique perspective on the controversial figure's journey.
