Sebastian Stan says what's happening in America under Donald Trump is "not a laughing matter." "I think we’re in a really, really bad place. I really do. And to be honest with you, when you’re looking at what’s happening, right now -- if we’re talking about the consolidation of the media, censorship, threats, the supposed lawsuits that seemingly never end but don’t actually go anywhere. You know, the writing was on the wall. We encountered all that with the movie ['The Apprentice'] to the point that we were, three days before the festival, unsure if the movie was going to play the festival. So maybe people are paying attention more to that film, I think it will stand the test of time for that. But we went through all of it right before Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and so on. So, I wish it wasn’t like that." variety.com/2026/film/news…

#FJORD | "Stan delivers some of his most reserved and best work yet, as a man who is clearly bottling up an extraordinary amount of anger because of the situation he finds himself in. [...] How Stan communicates this through the smallest gestures and shifts in body posture, without relying on broad acting choices, is an impressive display of restraint that deepens the film’s ambiguity. This also marks Stan’s first role performed in his native Romanian and feels like a major career milestone following his first Oscar nomination for “The Apprentice.” As he enters a new chapter of his own life and career, becoming a father himself, there is an added layer of emotional resonance watching him wrestle with what it means to be both a father and a man." nextbestpicture.com/fjord/
