"Elton John: Never Too Late" follows Elton John as he looks back on his life and the astonishing early days of his 50-year career in this emotionally charged, intimate and uplifting full-circle journey. As he prepares for his final concert in North America at Dodger Stadium, Elton takes us back in time to recount the extraordinary highs and heartbreaking lows of his early years and how he overcame adversity, abuse and addiction to become the icon he is today.

Matt Zoller Seitz

RogerEbert.com

Less a complete statement than an assortment of loosely grouped notions and materials, held together by the subject's incandescent music and the quiet forcefulness of his personality.

Rated: 2.5/4

Times (UK)

This is intimate, consequential stuff, and with so much focus on his implosions you can see why John wanted to cede the limelight for part of the film to one of the few people above him in the rock pantheon: John Lennon.

The Saturday Evening Post

When your husband is co-directing your definitive big-screen documentary, it’s for sure he’s going to feature your best angles (if he knows what’s good for him, that is).

Rated: 3/5

Stefan Pape

Common Sense Media

The documentary is very positively framed and, although candid and honest, it makes great effort to portray Elton in an affable way, such as the contrived scenes showing him as a doting father.

Al Alexander

Movies Thru the Spectrum

He reveals a few secrets, but when you’re as big a star as Elton John, you’re already an open book. That familiarity slackens the film’s pace, but at the same time you’re buoyed by the array of archival photos and footage of his younger years.

Rated: B

Fascinating bio pic of Sir Elton John. As a child of the late 60s & 70s, I enjoyed this immensely.
