Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 10/22/2015
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. Go to Full Review

11/15/2016 Reel good bio-doc this was a good documentary See more 10/17/2016 I enjoyed this documentary so much, honestly much more than I thought I would. It was very interesting and candid and deeply personal. See more 05/16/2016 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. See more Read all reviews
