"Where's My Roy Cohn?" - a movie review - ✯✯✯✯✯
Watching the documentary "Where's My Roy Cohn?" is like watching a martial arts film. Cohn is the Grand Master. Behind his serene mask of a tanned face and pale blue eyes lurks, as the narrator says, a caged animal who, when released, attacks. Trump studied under Cohn. He learned Cohn's moves well but beneath Trump's orange mask lurks nothing. Cohn was a bully who bullied and won; Trump is a bully who gives in and calls it winning, then plays golf. Matt Trynauer's film is a beautiful piece of movie making. He has edited together scenes of Roy Cohn in his very public life as an attorney, a socialite and a political fixer. Cohn was the only child of a wealthy Jewish couple in the Bronx. He went to Columbia Law School and graduated at 20. He was admitted to the New York bar when he turned 21, and went to work as a prosecutor for the US attorney in Manhattan. At age 23 he prosecuted the Rosenbergs for selling information about the atomic bomb to the Russians. Y
