- 40The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenHas no interest in exploring Mr. Frank's family background or love life. This frustrating lack of context leaves you wanting a lot more in the way of texture.
- 38New York PostMegan LehmannNew York PostMegan LehmannBart 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.
