New York Times

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.

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

Frank Scheck

The Hollywood Reporter

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

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

Rated: 4/5

Mildly engaging, but often dull, myopic and incomplete.

Flabbergasting that people believe character and ethics are based on results of your ethics and character. Indicative of the decline of American ethics and character. Quite sad.

What would be far more interesting would be a film about Adam Kinzinger realizing that he threw away his career for no reason at all. Watch him getting ghosted by Rachael Maddow. It would be great for him to watch Trump's reputation grow by the day. End the movie with him spinning a sign in front of a Verizon.

It gave me a glimpse and hope of what our better selves could be. This person simply did the job he was elected to do.....uphold the constitution. It was well done and came off as authentic.
