      Audience Member Reel good bio-doc this was a good documentary Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed this documentary so much, honestly much more than I thought I would. It was very interesting and candid and deeply personal. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member It's hard to have an objective opinion about this documentary since I had such admiration for Congressman Frank, but I found this to be one of the most moving, sincere, and "warts and all" documentaries about a person I have ever seen. It really painted a picture of the human who was a statesman, rather than the statesman who was a showman. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter the film is most successful when it concentrates on its subject's personal life. His candor in discussing his sexuality and other subjects is endlessly refreshing in this era when politicians are mostly defined by their timidity. Oct 22, 2015 Full Review Scott Renshaw Salt Lake City Weekly It's less warts-and-all than a compelling profile of a man who just wanted to get things done. Oct 22, 2015 Full Review Sean Burns Movie Mezzanine There are worse ways to spend 90 minutes than in the company of Barney Frank. Mar 5, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews
