Scott Bryan BBC.com I was really hoping for something that was completely comprehensive that went from the start of his life to where he is now. It sort of felt that they kind of cut and showed certain bits. Rated: Must Watch Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian It is not the same as the 1997 touring documentary, Tantrums and Tiaras, directed by Furnish, which gave a sharper view of Elton John’s temper and the nervous energy of his creativity. But there is, as ever, pleasure and awe in hearing his great songs. Rated: 3/5 Dec 13, 2024 Full Review 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 Nov 16, 2024 Full Review Ben Turner The Pink Lens If you’re a fan of Elton John, then this is a treat that gives a peak behind the curtain. But for those more casually acquainted with John’s work, this is a music-doc that doesn’t work very hard to convert new fans. Rated: 3/5 Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Max Gao Elle Never Too Late serves as a fitting tribute to the life and legacy of one of the greatest musicians—and LGBTQ+ icons—of all time. Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Frances Taylor Radio Times This documentary charts his path with a sympathetic and celebratory, if slightly sombre, portrait of the Rocket Man. Rated: 3/5 Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review Lucie J Brilliant - lots of footage I hadn't seen before and the kind of honesty that makes me love him, definitely worth seeing Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Alexis L Charming animations and an intimate first-person perspective. A great complement to the Rocketman biopic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Richard Y After following his career for eons he still has some story I didn't know about. Quite a well made biographical documentary, touching at times. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
