Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 87% of 15 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.7/10. [4]

In a positive review, Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "It's a sign of the truly bizarre political times in which we live that the new documentary about former Illinois congressman Adam Kinzinger was made not by any of the usual filmmaking suspects. The Last Republican, receiving its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, wasn't helmed by, say, Michael Moore, Errol Morris, or Barbara Kopple, but rather Steve Pink. It only makes sense when you find out that one of Pink's previous directorial efforts, Hot Tub Time Machine , is Kinzinger's favorite film." [1]
