The movie reportedly received an eight-minute standing ovation after it premiered at the festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film failed to take home any awards, with the top prize going to \u201cAnora,\u201d a romantic drama set in New York; filmmaker Sean Baker became the first American to win the top award, the Palme d\u2019Or, since 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some reports about \u201cThe Apprentice\u201d said it depicted Trump\u2019s relationships with Cohn and his first wife, Ivana, in a negative light.
