Get Me Roger Stone Movie Review 2. In The Atlantic last week, Conor Freidersdorf wrote, And observing the left during the first 1. Trump administration, I am beginning to despair that its pathologies are growing in strength at the very moment when the worst of the right is ascendant, too. The phenomenon he notes, though, has the ironic upside of providing rich material for documentarians. From Weiner, about the New York congressman who pushed his penchant for self display all the way to political self destruction, to Risk, Laura Poitras portrait of the vain and self absorbed Julian Assange reviewed here last week, the lefts pathologies are indeed being carefully and damningly anatomized.

Mauro and Morgan Pehme. Stone, the right wing self described provocateur and dirty trickster profiled here, may not be a name familiar even to Americans who like this reviewer read about politics obsessively, but the film makes the case that his career links ideologically charged figures from Roy Cohn to Richard Nixon to Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump the latter in fact seems the logical culmination of Stones long campaign to remake American politics into something that would put a smile on P.

Stone himself is our unapologetic tour guide and indefatigable explainer. Hes one odd looking bird. With a head shaped like a melon drawn by R. Crumb and topped by some very dubious looking hair, and a gangly frame evidently bulked up at the gym and swathed in fashionable suits, hes like a bizarre character played by John Turturro in some as yet unmade Coen brothers film. He clearly relishes talking about his favorite subjecthimselfand is ashamed of absolutely nothing hes ever done. If it increased his notoriety and gained the home team a few yards, then it was good and right. Much of the time when hes being interviewed, theres a tasty looking martini on the table next to him, and its tempting to think, This guy probably would be a lot of fun to toss back a few drinks with. Hes a voluble raconteur with an evident feel for his own lifes absurdities. But such are the snares of American politics You can appreciate a personalitys entertainment value while being chilled at its impact on the nation. Appropriately, the film begins and ends with Donald Trump. Stone discovered him back in the 8.

Watergate grand jury. How does he feel about that period now Smiling, he takes off his shirt and displays the Nixon portrait tattooed on his otherwise unblemished back. Yet while providing sometime crucial support to Republican presidential candidates from Nixon to Trump, and coming up with some ingenious new ways to manipulate the media to help them he gets some credit for the birther lie that helped put Trump on the map, Stone had perhaps even greater impact in other areas. His Reagan era firm of Black, Manafort yes, that one and Stone helped dissolve the boundary between consulting and lobbying, and became known as the Torturers Lobby for the work it did for Third World dictators.

Al Gore, to working to engineer the downfall of Elliot Spitzer, Stone seems to have been everywhere, leading writer Jeffrey Toobin to dub him the malevolent Forrest Gump of American politics.

Toobin, his New Yorker colleague Jane Mayer and the late Wayne Barrett provide much of the films liberal commentary, and its tone isnt outraged but mildly astonished, even bemused, as in, Can you believe such and such a thing Stone did. It would be hilarious and drolly entertaining if the consequences werent so appalling. With Trumps victory, Stone seems to have reached the place hed long dreamed of, where words have no meaning, there are no such things as truth or honesty or decency, and the only thing that counts is winning.
