George Takeis liv och kärlek

To Be Takei

...a conventional documentary, but by no means a bad one. The requisitetalking heads footage and media clips are assembled into a good narrative structure...

...works most productively when allowing Takei's acting career to speak for itself...a clip from The Green Berets, with Takei playing a Japanese military captain opposite John Wayne, reveals his strengths and seriousness as an actor.

...is most successful when it delves into more difficult history.

...Takei is funny as well as smart and charming.

Behind the sweetness and a deep, piping laugh though – one that could belong to an evil henchman in a James Bond film, if it wasn’t so genuine – is a childhood full of struggle.
