Movie Reviews

AV Club - 9/10 by Vadim RizovThe technical, workmanlike production is made more irritating than necessary by Michael Hearst’s score, whose grating circus-comes-to-town sprightliness is routinely slathered over mundane footage.
Metro - 9/10 by Matt PriggeIt swells the running time with lengthy hang-out scenes with he and Brad, joins him at the barber shop (twice!) and delves into a bizarre and misjudged block of character assassination against William Shatner.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by David NohThe kaleidoscopic life of the Enterprise's chauffeur - an Asian and gay showbiz pioneer - is explored in this entertaining but diffuse documentary.
Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) - 8/10 by Brian GibsonCan be more of a platform than a chronicle; its look at homophobia and gay marriage is a bit earnest and over-explained. Still, Takei provides a sharp lens through which to see ethnic and sexual minorities' progress in America's post-'50s popular culture.
Film Threat - 8/10 by Jessica BaxterDespite a slightly meandering structure, To Be Takei is a highly entertaining and moving portrait.
EntertainmentTell - 8/10 by Stephen SilverTo paraphrase an old speech by our president, only in America is George Takei's life possible.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by David LewisThis is a film blessed with excellent footage and plenty of nice moments.
New York Magazine/Vulture - 8/10 by Bilge EbiriThe kind of documentary that’s smart enough to step back and let its charming subject take over. It won’t break new ground, but it’s not lazy or generic.
Paste Magazine - 8/10 by Matt ShiverdeckerThere isn't much effort here to dig deep beyond the surface story, which is undoubtedly inspirational to many. With a subject as charismatic and likable as Takei, I'm not sure that it really matters.
Oregonian - 8/10 by Marc MohanWilliam Shatner, it must be said, comes off as an insufferable, pompous jerk. Maybe he's jealous. After all, at age 75, Takei is an openly gay Asian American with an overwhelming social media fan base, making him the one who has really gone where no man has gone before.
