For the Love of Spock Ratings & Reviews
New York Daily News
Ethan Sacks
Gives fans an unprecedented glimpse of the thinking that went between the iconic prosthetic ears.
AV Club
Noel Murray
It's moving to know that even Nimoy's son is as in thrall to an icon as the rest of us.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
A loving tribute in general to Star Trek and in particular to the man who gave more than half of his life to Spock.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
A lively, often hilarious collection of talking heads that includes fans and actors from the original and current incarnations of Star Trek.
San Francisco Chronicle
Leba Hertz
The movie is entertaining, although true Trekkies will probably find out nothing new about the man with the pointed ears.
Fresno Bee
Rick Bentley
Most of all, it is a beautiful tribute both of a filmmaker to a subject and a son to his father.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Adam Nimoy directed this basic but very loving tribute to his father, daring to get a little more personal and a little less reverential than the average Star Trek fan might have.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Occasionally threatens to become an overly glossy offering of hero worship, but it retains a degree of honesty, making sure to identify the man before the Vulcan.
The Verge
Keith Phipps
The film offers a better sense of who Leonard Nimoy was, and where Spock came from, than a more objective approach could.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Adam 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.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Whatever its flaws, "For the Love of Spock" mostly works for those with an interest in the man or a love of the series. And if the director was perhaps too close to the subject, that, too, has a certain logic to it.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
The countless devoted fans of Nimoy and his character virtually guarantee that For the Love of Spock will live long and prosper.
New York Times
Andy Webster
This film nimbly straddles biography and "Trek" valentine (Adam is a longtime television director), but also recounts the fraught if ultimately devoted ties between Adam and Leonard.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
Adam Nimoy ... has freely allowed his love and admiration to permeate every frame of this richly rewarding tribute.
Village Voice
Amy Brady
Adam tells his father's story with love, but he resists hagiography.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
For The Love of Spock honors the life of Leonard Nimoy in a very well-made documentary.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Erik Henriksen
It goes without saying that each of us was saddened by Nimoy's passing last year, and The Love of Spock reminds us we weren't alone.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
Fun, thoughtful mix of pop-culture appreciation, intimate biography and family therapy session.
Forbes
Luke Y. Thompson
But while it's not necessarily the definitive portrait, For the Love of Spock serves as a great primer for your non-geek friend who doesn't get it yet.
HeraldNet (Everett, WA)
Robert Horton
The whole thing has the air of a home-movie made for fans.
