The international press greeted the film with enthusiasm, praising the performances of the actors and the directorial perspective: “Sebastian Stan is excellent as the young Donald Trump” wrote the BBC while Entertainment Weekly headlined “The Apprentice offers a masterful palette of performances that go far beyond the usual copycat attempt of many Hollywood biopics.”
Variety finds the film “sharp and stinging”, the Associated Press considers it “provocative if not shocking, entertaining if not revelatory, impeccably acted and inherently controversial, which Ali Abbasi takes even further.”and The Hollywood Reporter adds: “Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong are superb in this chilling account of the unholy alliance that created Donald Trump.” The bottom line comes from Screen Rant: It’s “a damn good movie.”
