    ★★★★

    Hard to have any empathy for Donald Trump because he's so revolting but perhaps early on he could have taken a different path and used his charms for good instead of self-worshiping evil. Also, seems like they decided "okay we'll end it here" and it stops with a quick wrap-up.

    Jeremy Strong is fantastic to watch.

    He definitely was, but also troubled. An interesting journey / relationship movie that's a quick watch. Makes you wonder what it must feel like have charisma, but are self-destructive and thus alone in the world.

    A ripoff of Star Wars made with love as a middle school film project. And David Hasselhoff! Worth a watch if only for Christopher Plummers (yes) oddly phrased and whispered closing lines of the film.
