The Apprentice (Friday): In this movie, a young Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan) is ascendant in New York real estate, aided by Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong). It charts Trump’s rise in the 1970s and ’80s, and depicts him sexually assaulting his first wife and getting liposuction and a scalp reduction. With weeks to go until the election, it is a glimpse at the origins of a ubiquitous figure.

You’ve probably already heard about this movie, but there was a chance many wouldn’t get to see it: After it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, Trump threatened to sue to block its release (a spokesman called it defamatory). Gabriel Sherman, the political journalist who wrote the film, described feeling validated by Trump’s response. “Life was imitating art,” he said. “Trump’s legal threat followed the first rule Cohn elucidates in the movie: Attack, attack, attack.”
