There should be way more interest in this movie.
I just saw it, and its a great film. Its not a hatchet job or a brainless biopic. Its a film with an important story to tell. The origin story of a villain. Whats remarkable is that almost everything in the movie is a matter of historical record.
Roy Cohn was one of the most malignant moral blanks in American public life, and Trump has taken his example to its extreme, inevitable conclusion.
Jeremy Strong's performance is fantastic and could have been explored in more detail. Sebastian Stan is pitch perfect as Trump. He has more of an arc, starting out as a reserved mid level player, who is able to use Cohn's connections and advice to build on his fathers empire and ending up as the shyt talking wannabe autocrat he is today.
I think a lot of thought went into the details and it will grow a cult audience over time. Definitely worth checking out if you can find a theater thats playing it.
