“
There have been documentaries, television programs, and “Saturday Night Live” comedy sketches, but this is the first movie about one of the most controversial figures of our time. “The Apprentice” chronicles how Donald Trump gained fame and influence in 1980s New York before ascending to the presidency of the United States. Directed by Iranian filmmaker Ali Abbasi, the film features Sebastian Stan portraying the young Trump. During its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, it received a standing ovation and faced threats of legal action from the Trump campaign. In an interview with culture editor Eve Jackson, the director discusses the difficulties of telling Donald Trump’s early story.”
