"Unfit" - do not watch. Don't waste your money.

They give Scaramucci an unadulterated 5 mins to state that Trump is one of the smartest people of all time, and a genius for connecting with the working class despite his (Trump’s) shortcomings. Scaramucci is provided the further opportunity to give his background and resume. Really? JFC.

Low production values and (Trump’s fault for daily catastrophes) months behind in news. Don’t waste your time.

4. The movie is already old hat and the inclusion of Scaramucci in that way was unforgivable.

Anybody who spends any time on this board already knows Scaramucci inside out - and we know the “Trump is clinically insane” angle inside and out. Look at Tom Joseph on Twitter, MollyJong Fast, Lincoln Project, etc. Absolutely nothing new here. If you have to make any monetary decisions about renting or buying - save your money.

Mind you I’m a psych nerd but they do a good job of discussing what his psychological issues are, how his followers are induced to feel as they do, the connections to fascism and so forth.

Yeah, Mooch. But I’ll take him as someone who wants to help bring him down. Conway is surprisingly emotional. And the mental health pros are spot on.

I’d recommend it overall.

a mistake, but other than that, I thought it was quite well done. Just because there was one weak spot in the film doesn't mean the entire film wasn't worth watching. The rest of them were very credible and interesting. I would definitely say it is worth a watch.

So what? Trump is smart, that does not mean he is book smart, just smart. Smart does not mean moral, ethical or good, it just means he is smart.

I thought the entirety of the movie was very chilling and a must watch.

I felt it was a good movie and well worth my time, hell, just hearing the one psychologist call Trump Hitler was worth it for me.

ymmv...

Trump doesn’t care if you call him evil - he relishes it. He only cares if you call him dumb. And Scaramucci is at least smart enough to know that.
