If you’re curious, Donald Trump didn’t like it at all, describing it as a poorly done, unfair, and unpleasant attack.
But if you want to see it for yourself, you can: it’s currently streaming on Netflix in the UK.
Empire praised the drama, giving it four stars and describing it as a clever and heartbreaking look at the darker side of the American Dream. They also highlighted the performances of Stan and Strong as award-worthy.
Both The Observer gave it four stars, noting that while The Apprentice could have leaned more into the outrageous aspects of Donald Trump’s persona, it does reveal a side of him he likely wouldn’t want the public to see.
Even if you feel you’re already familiar with the story, the film The Apprentice is worth watching, according to the New Statesman. They believe it offers a truly insightful perspective.
According to Flick Filosopher, Sebastian Stan’s portrayal of Trump is a captivatingly awful depiction of a pathetic man—someone humorless, lonely, and intensely craving approval and significance.
The film didn’t receive universal praise. iNews, for example, gave it a two-star rating, describing it as visually polished but disturbing. They admitted it wasn’t a bad movie, but questioned whether it needed to be made, acknowledging its strangely captivating nature despite being unpleasant.
According to RogerEbert.com, the film The Apprentice concludes with a rather simplistic message: that the subject’s motivations were purely driven by greed and the capitalist system. The reviewer found this explanation to be unfulfilling and lacking in depth.
The film has a decent audience score on IMDb, with a solid rating of 7.1/10.
The show received award nominations largely due to its strong performances. Stan was nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars, BAFTAs, and Golden Globes, and Strong also received nominations for Best Supporting Actor at those same events.
The film achieved significant recognition at the Canadian Screen Awards, even winning Best Motion Picture, and its stars, Stan and Strong, also received awards.
The Apprentice is now streaming on Netflix in the UK.
