Our rate: **
Far from being a vitriolic portrait of a caricatured personality, this film is reminiscent of initiatives such as The Social Network in terms of content, while in terms of form, we recognize a grain that is typical, in particular, of the new Hollywood, when New York glowed in the night and was filmed on film. Constructing his narrative entirely like a success story, Ali Abassi sets about putting it into images (80s, zooms, dezooms in constant movement), into music (essentially New Wave), and into words (rare are the silences, rare are the profound thoughts, more frequent are the little phrases testifying sometimes to a naive thought, sometimes to a deeply inscribed ideology). It’s up to us to decide whether we want to see a good film, thanks to a style that’s a little out of fashion, or a Dallas electrified to the point of seeming deeper than it is, entertaining as much as it needs to, but also continuing to nurture the American Dream while underlining a few conservatisms with a touch of humor sprinkled in here and there. Anyway, a Sidney Lumet (or even a Scorcese or Coppola, or even a Fincher) wouldn’t have explained the wicked twist – when the pupil surpasses the master, but let’s be clear, Trump is no Darth Vader without rebellion! – of the character by the fall of the weaker brother who maintains Donald’s “walk or die” attitude. Nor would he have recounted the story’s two significant descents into hell, that of the brother, Freddy Trump, who disappoints his parents by not being able to live up to their expectations.
