Review: This new documentary entertainingly demystifies former Trump adviser Steve Bannon
Stephen K. Bannon is the subject of the documentary “The Brink.” By Ann Hornaday Ann Hornaday Movie critic Email Bio Follow Movie critic March 27 at 3:21 PM Rating:
That reputation — which Bannon has gleefully courted, or at least done nothing to dispel — has elevated him into such a vaunted figure that even veteran documentarian Errol Morris found himself powerless before the Man Behind the Curtain. “American Dharma,” Morris’s alternately panicky and pretentious film about Bannon, was easily one of the most disappointing movies of the 2018 festival circuit, right up there with the similarly toothless, impotently outraged “Vice.
Filmed with an impressive degree of access by Alison Klayman, “The Brink” chronicles an eventful period in Bannon’s career: When the film opens at the “Breitbart Embassy” in Washington , Bannon has recently left the White House as a presidential strategist and is on the verge of creating a nonprofit to spread the populist gospel he helped leverage to get his man elected.
Klayman, who was largely a one-woman operation during the filming of “The Brink,” never confronts Bannon on his most unsavory associations, leaving it to viewers to judge whether it’s hypocritical for a man to excoriate the “elites” while living on an archipelago of five-star hotels, black SUVs and private planes, or whether they buy it when he insists he takes no foreign money, moments before meeting with Chinese billionaire Miles Kwok.
