“The Apprentice” (October 11) – In this cautionary tale set in 1970s and ’80s New York City, Jeremy Strong stars as attorney Roy Cohn who helps shape his protégé, a wet-behind-the-ears real estate figure named Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan), into a media star. Director Ali Abbasi’s examination of the young Trump, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, sparked legal threats from the Trump campaign, but that didn’t prevent a distributor from picking up the film for a pre-Election Day release.
