Third Act

Tadashi Nakamura takes on a lot with “Third Act” since it’s a historical and educational documentary while also being a very personal story. He succeeds.

A touching documentary, which is ultimately about finding understanding between multiple generations of fathers and sons.

Informative, curious, and intimate all at once, “Third Act” takes us on a privileged view of Bob Nakamura: fighter, filmmaker, and father.

The documentary can feel insular, almost like it was specifically made for the family and community closest to Robert. And yet, there's a universal thread in its exploration of how we inherit history and how we define ourselves in relation to our parents.
