There is an odd sombreness at the heart of what is effectively a slick, flashy, highly entertaining and otherwise quite superficial career celebration, a quality of unease imparted by Elton himself.

The portrait of Sir Elton today — the astonishingly gracious gentleman he is, the family life he found — is revealing and moving.

This hopeful and insightful look into the life of such an icon creates an inspiring and beautiful story that stands tall from the beginning until the very end.

Elton John: Never Too Late is an affecting movie that the musician's fans will likely appreciate, but it's the equivalent of those official oil portraits that the more intelligent and self-aware royals used to commission.

If this is a bookend to his incredible performing career, at least it’s a respectful and tender one.

Elton John: Never Too Late comes across as a safe and well-tooled piece of a carefully managed relationship with Disney.

Apart from a few quippy anecdotes, the only thing holding Elton John: Never Too Late together is the songs.

Feito mais para fãs do que para o público em geral, com um registro tão burocrático quanto enfadonho. Todo o ato gira em torno da preparação em seu show no Dodger Stadium, palco onde anos atrás, no começo da sua carreira, alavancou Elton. Entrecortado com muitas histórias, e muitas idas e vindas, o doc se apoia bastante em entrevistas e falas do próprio cantor. Mas não há aqui qualquer conflito aparente, até mesmo a sexualidade dele é algo mais pacífico, tratado mais como um suporte ao seu desejo de constituir família, e francamente gostei da abordagem. Assim, longe de polêmicas e com um ar de especial de fim de ano, o filme ao menos, nos minutos finais, tem uma montagem interessante pegando as notícias do Elton e, finalmente, apresentando seu derradeiro show. Sendo bem franco, é bem legal ver produções homenageando artistas ainda vivos.

Maybe 5 of 10 is a bit hard, but the movie didn't show any breathtaking scenes. I hoped for some more background information about his life and career.
