Burt Reynolds' final bow and unbeknownst last interview was for a previous Rick Pamplin film titled Movie Money CONFIDENTIAL (released in 2022). The uncut, unscripted and uncensored interview from that production is the heart of the new documentary which also features exclusive Q and A's with Academy Award winner Quentin Tarantino and Reynolds' closest friends and associates who reveal the final act of his life. In his own words, Reynolds explains himself, his career, success, secret passions and advice for others. This no-holds-barred interview with "The Last Movie Star" at his Florida acting school was filmed just before his untimely death. Initially scheduled as a brief discussion for Pamplin's critically acclaimed documentary about film financing, which Reynolds claimed to know nothing about, he was irritable and edgy, rambled around a bit, but eventually settled down and engaged in a rare in-depth look back at his desires and purpose, plans for the future and a wide range of topics. Opinionated, outspoken, charismatic, glib, charming and funny, Reynolds delivers a startling, unsettling, heartbreaking, up-close view of a cinema and Hollywood legend who remains larger than life, yet his personal passions were unknown to most of the world, even to most Hollywood insiders.

As oral history, you must consider the source of information and it is lacking. But as an introduction or reminder of the man’s quick wit, you won’t find much better.

As someone who knew little abut his life and career I enjoyed watching it. It's insightful and has a lot to say particularly about the state of franchise mainstream films today.

Rated: 7/10

The Last Interview isn’t enlightening, but it is a decent chunk of gold to see shine. It’s a dedication, more than anything.

Rated: 2.5/5

Filmed just months before his death in 2018, Burt Reynolds: The Last Interview is a touching reminder for those who were there and for those who were not of what a unique screen star Reynolds was in the 1970s.

It’s truly a bittersweet experience to sit through this documentary. It’s deeply enlightening but also incredibly saddening because of the fact that this is indeed the last interview with Burt Reynolds.

Rated: 4/5

I have enjoyed Burt Reynolds in movies, but now I love him as a human being. I didn't realize this gem was a local hero to Florida. The film made me love him even more.
