Critics consensus

“To Be Takei rests almost entirely on its subject's inherent likability -- and, for the most part, that's more than enough.”

Director Jennifer M. Kroot delivers something that is as profound as it is funny and uplifting.

With his trademark baritone and focused diction, Takei is a natural storyteller who lends an enjoyable flow to the movie's uncomplicated proceedings.

R

Richard Roeper

RTChicago Sun-TimesSep 3, 2014

To Be Takei is a celebration of a man of great resilience, infectious humor, a voracious appetite for the richness of the human experience, and the best laugh in the history of laughing.

RTThe Last Thing I SeeJul 7, 2020

A hilarious, agreeable, ultimately very intimate look into the actor's life.
