Christian Science Monitor

Feisty, funny, and smart.

By David Sterritt FULL REVIEW

A fascinating portrait of an era, as well as of a unique public servant.

By Ken Eisner FULL REVIEW

Washington Post

The outspoken congressman is just as entertaining as his liberal fans already know him to be.

By Michael O'Sullivan FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

Squanders its potentially rich possibilities.

By Frank Scheck FULL REVIEW

Let's Get Frank is hardly frank enough.

Bart Everly followed Frank around for two years, yet his film seems to consist mostly of regurgitated C-Span and news footage from the period, interspersed with asides from the outspoken liberal.

By Megan Lehmann FULL REVIEW

Everly tries to patch together a profile out of borrowed news clips and shoddy videography. In the process, Frank's charisma and force never emerge.
