Audience Reviews for For the Love of Spock

  • Dec 09, 2016
    Less of a documentary and more of a memorial, this is a curious behind-the-scenes (but not too behind-the-scenes) look at a popular cultural icon. Meant for the fans of the series there is an unintended element that somehow works to trivialize the proceedings.
    Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

    A love letter from a son to his father. Director Adam Nimoy, who also appears on screen along with the many other celebrities sharing their admiration for his father Leonard Nimoy, explores his dad's personal and professional life. Excellent use of archival material to support the talking heads. There is both amazing home movie footage as well as clips from LN's mass media work, which all of us fans are already familiar. Even his music album with the song The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins gets a mention. A man who embodied the Live Long and Prosper ethos of his most famous pop culture character.
