"A smart, tragic take on just how dark the American Dream can be, with award-worthy work from Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong." (Empire Magazine)
"Way better than you may have heard, this mesmerizing look at young Donald Trump (a sensational Sebastian Stan) and his legal dark prince Roy Cohn (a dynamite Jeremy Strong) provides funny and scary insights into the ego Trump developed to rule the world." (ABC News)
"'The Apprentice' is an essential piece of cinema, both thought-provoking and timely. It doesn’t seek to offer easy answers or redemption, and with sharp performances and a narrative that refuses to flinch, the film leaves a lasting impact." (HeyUGuys)
"'The Apprentice' delivers an entertaining portrait of a three-dimensional human being who so emulates his mentor that he finally acquires all of his most disturbing traits. It’s a smart, but not smart-alecky, dramatization of his evolution." (Leonard Maltin)
