John Anderson

Wall Street Journal

Vandross regularly produces sounds that seem superhuman, and does so with no visible strain. It is also no work at all enjoying a movie so full of affection for its subject and his music.

“Luther: Never Too Much” will have fans dancing in their seats, playing karaoke to some of his best slow songs, or in the mood for love, which is how his friends, family, and Porter want him to be remembered most.

Culture Mix

Conventionally made but still enjoyable, the documentary Luther: Never Too Much tells a very laudatory version of Luther Vandross' life. More insight was needed for what he liked to do when he wasn't working, but it's an overall competent biography.

Living Life Fearless

A documentary that fairly balances all of that; Vandross was a huge talent, while also underling the tragedy of that life.

I loved seeing and hearing Luther tell his own story. It wasn't like watching a movie. It was more like a conversation with Luther and with those closest to him. Why is this not shown in more theatres?????
