Summary: After the 2016 election, people all over the world woke up to find that Donald J. Trump, New York real estate billionaire and reality TV star, succeeded in pulling off one of the greatest political upsets in history to become the 45th President of the United States. One man who wasn’t shocked – political consultant Roger Stone. A longtimeAfter the 2016 election, people all over the world woke up to find that Donald J. Trump, New York real estate billionaire and reality TV star, succeeded in pulling off one of the greatest political upsets in history to become the 45th President of the United States. One man who wasn’t shocked – political consultant Roger Stone. A longtime Trump confidante and advisor, Stone said he always knew his celebrity pal was “prime political horse flesh.” Get Me Roger Stone traces the monumental impact that Stone, the youngest person called before the Watergate grand jury and a self-described “dirty trickster”, has made on modern GOP history — connecting Nixon, Roy Cohn and Reagan with SuperPACs, lobbying, the 2000 election, all the way to the nation’s first reality star President.

In some ways, Stone’s soul seems part carnival huckster, part 19th century anarchist. A petri dish of toxic pathologies, he has come so far from his Goldwaterite beginnings he could now write his own book: A Conservative Without a Conscience. Read full review

Of all the non-fiction movies that have already been made about the toxic cesspool of the 2016 election, or how Trump emerged from it like a leather-tanned Swamp Thing, Get Me Roger Stone is the one that best articulates how we got here and who’s to blame. Read full review

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. Read full review

The filmmakers squander a boundlessly fascinating figure in service of yet another paint-by-numbers info-doc with all the dramatic heft of a book report. Read full review

If you want to know why lobbyists and consultants have such political power, why SuperPACS exist, and why money makes the Washington legislature go round, then look no further than Roger Stone. The man himself is a fascinating character study. Forget Russia, Roger Stone is the reason why Donald Trump is our president. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie.… Expand

Great movie. Even thought its made by what Stone would call liberal vermin they can't present him worse then he presents himself. Objective people know both campaigns have equal levels of corruption and dirty tricks. Trump, a noob, probably less so than the Democrats. Nevertheless, with theGreat movie. Even thought its made by what Stone would call liberal vermin they can't present him worse then he presents himself. Objective people know both campaigns have equal levels of corruption and dirty tricks. Trump, a noob, probably less so than the Democrats. Nevertheless, with the help of folks like Stone he pulled off the victory. You might hate Stone after watching. Thats just what he wants.… Expand
