September 09, 2016
The whole thing has the air of a home-movie made for fans.
September 09, 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.
September 21, 2016
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.

For the Love of Spock is a bittersweet yet eminently intriguing profile of a man who ultimately did live long and, yes, prosper.
September 22, 2016

September 09, 2016
A loving tribute in general to Star Trek and in particular to the man who gave more than half of his life to Spock.
September 14, 2016
The countless devoted fans of Nimoy and his character virtually guarantee that For the Love of Spock will live long and prosper.
September 14, 2016
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.
