The Last Republican

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.

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.

A trenchant political documentary.

Mildly engaging, but often dull, myopic and incomplete.

There are very few brave patriots in the modern GOP and while the film sidesteps years of holding one’s nose to enact or ignore policy decisions, Adam Kinzinger does earn a handshake for stepping up when the country needed voices like his.

Overall, I enjoyed the film. But the question is, how much does any of this matter?

A solid documentary about doing the right thing politically.

What happens when one voice stands against the status quo? Adam Kinzinger can tell you all about it and does so honestly and with heart.
