Ed Potton

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.

London Evening Standard

Never Too Late really shines when it shakes off the formula of Elton's rise to fame and instead shows us the man himself.

Rated: 4/5

Frank J. Avella

Edge Media Network

The main issue with the doc is that Dexter Fletcher's biopic of Elton, Rocketman, was far more illuminating. But there is plenty to enjoy, from some wonderful concert performances to an extended sequence involving his friendship with John Lennon...

Rated: B-

InSession Film

Cutler and Furnish have open doors to access the sparkling world of the Rocketman, yet decide to delve into the old, tired traits of uninspired biographies and portraits made in today’s age.

Rated: D

Next Best Picture

“Elton John: Never Too Late” tells John’s story with the same panache and soul that have made him such a musical icon. Combined with that treasure trove of rare archival material, it’s enough to make the film well worth the cost of a Disney+ subscription.

Rated: 6/10
