DeGeneres promised to 'talk about it' in For Your Approval, her farewell stand-up special. Unfortunately, she has nothing of value to say.

If you like DeGeneres, and it’s hard not to (unless you worked for her, apparently), all this is enjoyable viewing.

However it’s perceived, one thing is certain: Ellen DeGeneres’s honesty shines through, making her incredibly, candidly and hysterically relatable.

Paste Magazine

A wishy-washy hour that asks us to care about DeGeneres again, without giving us any reason to in the first place.

Rated: 4/10

Vanity Fair

A jokey non-apology that offers little in the way of vulnerability or insight.

DeGeneres still has the chops as a shrewd observational comedian, but can she effectively chop away at her own mystique? Yes and no.

It's just not that good. Ellen was funnier when I was watching her growing up. I wish her retirement movie amounted to more. I think its all the phones these days and people seeing more comedians on the internet.

Not funny, Ellen plays the victim for being fired from her own show for being a horrible and mean person.

At this point we have to start hating Netflix for the crap they make with the worst people in the world. Instead of spending millions of dollars on this BS they could've have donated the money elsewhere (if they didn't want the money).

Not entertaining or funny, Ellen used the show as a means of getting back at her critics for what she perceived was unfair treatment due to the bullying accusations.

Don't waste your time for seeing this shitshow. It's sad rottentomatoes don't allow 0 star ratings but they should start doing it for this kindda shows.
