In an exciting atmosphere, this documentary, follows the life of Roger Stone, a corrupted man, who manages to open the way for businessmen and moguls to enter politics, such as Donald Trump.
Roger Stone is quick, clever, and has survived through so scandal that you can't help but admire him...and hate him. It doesn't really matter what I think. Roger Stone doesn't care. But watching the documentary is a necessary evil worth undertaking.
As for examining the pathologies on the right side of the spectrum, it's hard to imagine any film this year will surpass the astonishing Netflix production Get Me Roger Stone.
Get Me Roger Stone... ought to come with a bottle of Purell-not just because it immerses the viewer in squalid politics, but because the filmmakers seem so shamelessly infatuated with their subject.
Stone himself would revel in the fact that so many people will be watching and seething silently at this documentary. There's no such thing as bad publicity, after all.
The single most useful insight of Get Me Roger Stone is that men like Stone are driven not so much by ideology as by an overweening thirst for power and celebrity, propelled by absolute antipathy for their enemies.
