Bully. Coward. Victim. The Story of Roy Cohn

About This Movie

Bully. Coward. Victim. The Story of Roy Cohn dives deep into the life of one of America’s most polarizing figures. The documentary paints a picture of Cohn that’s equal parts ruthless and tragic. It captures his role as McCarthy's right-hand man, which is just the tip of the iceberg. The tone is tense and almost voyeuristic, as it explores themes of power, identity, and moral decay. The pacing feels deliberate, giving weight to Cohn’s manipulative tactics and the fallout that followed them. It’s not just a biography; it’s a reflection on the intersection of personal and political life, with interviews and archival footage that feel both haunting and revealing. A unique take on a man who embodies the duality of success and failure.

Interesting narrative style that mixes personal and political · Thought-provoking themes on power and morality · Archival footage is particularly striking
