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.

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.

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.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 21, 2016

For the Love of Spock is a bittersweet yet eminently intriguing profile of a man who ultimately did live long and, yes, prosper.

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 countless devoted fans of Nimoy and his character virtually guarantee that For the Love of Spock will live long and prosper.

Gives fans an unprecedented glimpse of the thinking that went between the iconic prosthetic ears.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 9, 2016

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 9, 2016

The whole thing has the air of a home-movie made for fans.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 9, 2016

A lively, often hilarious collection of talking heads that includes fans and actors from the original and current incarnations of Star Trek.

Fun, thoughtful mix of pop-culture appreciation, intimate biography and family therapy session.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 8, 2016

It's a fascinating, insightful experience with just a few notable failings... But who can quibble (or Tribble) when the interviews and footage are so strong?

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 8, 2016

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.
