The combative camaraderie that Pink and Kinzinger demonstrate respects both of them as humans — without softening their stances one bit. I hope to see more films like this one in the years to come.

2.5/4

Mostly elides Kinzinger's positions on various issues, seemingly to make him more palatable here as a Capra-esque hero who is exclusively defined by standing up to corruption, and against a politician that the filmmaker also opposes.

The handsome, charismatic and extremely articulate politician proves a natural camera subject and self-deprecatingly takes pains to downplay his moral stance.

4/5

The Last Republican offers a remarkable profile of courage and conviction against daunting threats, sycophantic fealty, and blatant lies masking contemptible cowardice.

Mildly engaging, but often dull, myopic and incomplete.

While I may not agree with the Republican view of the management of the people in this land - as Pink explained - to see someone who saw through the delusion of a person willing to inflame others to assault the nation, its lawmakers, and the Constitution was powerful. Choosing to uphold law, despite a 93% agreement with the policies of the person who breaks that law, gives everyone a patriotic "tingle" in their heart. This documentary will forever demonstrate the reason such an unlawful occurrence could be politically swept away through the manipulation of a person willing to commute the sentences of the guilty. Hoping more in power grow a similar backbone to save the US American experiment.

Not sure what the point was. I already admired Mr Kinzinger for the integrity he showed after Jan 6. I would have loved to have heard from him what principles the Republican party stands for now that have any virtue.

I left this movie wanting more. It has been so long since I have felt inspired, uplifted by a documentary. I kept thinking that we don't have to wait for history to show us how right the Jan 6th committee was...because the proof is unfolding before all of our eyes today. Eyes are opening. Adam I am so very grateful to you and Congresswoman Cheney Thank you both and your families for what you have done and sacrificed. I pray your movie becomes an enormous success...The world needs to see it.

Kinsinger is not the last republican he’s a RINO (republican in name only) he’s a “The View” republican, a strawman of actual republican values that is pushed over by the slightest criticism. This isn’t the last republican he’s the last republican we want on our side.

If more politicians were like Adam Kinsinger and Luz Cheney our democracy would be stronger and safer. Inspiring. Thank you Congressman.
