An examination of the enduring appeal of Leonard Nimoy and his portrayal of Spock in Star Trek (1966).
Leave your thoughts about For the Love of Spock.
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyAdam traces his tumultuous personal relationship with his father along with his father's tumultuous career, showing how Spock's becoming a cultural icon impacted each. |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanFor The Love of Spock honors the life of Leonard Nimoy in a very well-made documentary. |
| Village VoiceAmy BradyAdam tells his father's story with love, but he resists hagiography. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreFor the Love of Spock is everything you’d hope for in a biography of one of the most universally beloved characters and character actors of all time. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesAdam clearly lacked the perspective required to contain the story, which lurches into all sorts of odd and personal digressions, but as a celebration of the original 1966-'69 series this is first-rate. |
| Georgia StraightDoug SartiFor the Love of Spock is a bittersweet yet eminently intriguing profile of a man who ultimately did live long and, yes, prosper. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThere’s more to this movie than offering fans an opportunity to wallow in the past. It gives the most complete portrait we’ve seen thus far of Nimoy, warts and all, as presented by the man who came the closest to knowing him. |
| New York Daily NewsEthan SacksFor the Love of Spock is ultimately as much of a love letter to other Trek fans as much as one to his own. |
| RogerEbert.comOdie HendersonMore than just catnip for Trekkies. It’s also an often painful examination of the rocky father/son relationship that existed between filmmaker Adam Nimoy and his famous father, Leonard. |
| San Francisco ChronicleLeba HertzThe movie is entertaining, although true Trekkies will probably find out nothing new about the man with the pointed ears. |
