Documentary Roy Cohn personified the dark arts of American politics, turning empty vessels into dangerous demagogues -- from Joseph McCarthy to his final project, Donald J. Trump. This thriller-like expose connects the dots, revealing how a deeply troubled master manipulator shaped our current American nightmare.

	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A bristling portrait of a man at war with himself (...) Tyrnauer’s doc hits you like a punch in the gut (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"[A] shrewd, illuminating exploration of a man whose influence, for better or worse, may have far outdone even his wildest dreams"	POS
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"A formulaic yet fascinating film (...) To answer the question “where’s my Roy Cohn?” he is, unfortunately, in the White House (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"A blunt, absorbing account of a master manipulator’s life and crimes"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"So consistently odious, diabolical and simply anti-humane is Cohn’s lifetime portfolio that you really feel the need of a cold shower afterwards"	POS
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"A delectable look at a despicable person (...) Cohn is in many ways the perfect villain"	POS
