Produced and directed by Sheila Canavan and Michael Chandler, Compared to What? spends too much of its 1 1/2 hours cementing Frank’s legacy as one of the last lawmakers on the Hill who understood the art of compromise.... The film is too admiring of its subject. Compared to What? is more entertaining (and revealing) in a present tense, capturing Frank as an inveterate schlub septuagenarian.

Mr Frank is an amazingly bold politician, not only because of his gay story, but because of his relentless pursuit for good causes, refusal to tolerate idiots and earnest work. This doc effectively captures his history and delightfully caustic sense of humor.
