The Last Mogul Reviews
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Avrich's colorful account of Wasserman's career starts out looking like a puff piece, but quickly reveals a refreshing willingness to delve into the dirty side of a glamorous business.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Lew Wasserman, who rose from the streets of Cleveland to become the most powerful man in Hollywood, is the subject of this absorbing documentary.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
A smart, well-paced documentary that balances the man's triumphs with his rare failures and discerningly explores the darker side of his power.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Highly entertaining.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
The jazzy credit sequence uses Wasserman's trademark big black eyeglasses as a playful motif, but the film itself is all business
Los Angeles Daily News
Bob Strauss
What we do see in The Last Mogul is certainly worthwhile. But it would be informative mainly to people unfamiliar with Wasserman.
eFilmCritic.com
Oz
Does an impeccable job in documenting both the dark and light side of one of the most successful, yet secretive, celebrities North America has ever known.
Boxoffice Magazine
Wade Major
More often than not, The Godfather comes to mind as Avrich maps out Wasserman's dalliances with politicians and mobsters, underscoring his remarkable facility for using them both to his advantage.
Village Voice
Matt Singer
Avrich's Wasserman is less a man than a list of accomplishments, a Kane without a hint of a Rosebud and nary a whiff of significant criticism.
Variety
Robert Koehler
Pic draws a full and balanced measure of the man, from his stratospheric rise to a remarkably humbling fall, and includes as thorough a study of the super-agent-turned-mogul's shady ties with organized crime as any feature docu could hope to muster.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
While...occasionally uncomplimentary, the final product feels mostly like a hagiography...tiptoeing around the issue of Wasserman's mob connections
L.A. Weekly
Scott Foundas
In death as in life, Wasserman proves a subject of total fascination.
