‘Elton John: Never Too Late’ Review: The Original King of Pop Gets the Satisfying Documentary He Deserves
It dives into Elton's '70s heyday, cutting between that and the lead-up to his 2022 Farewell Concert in Dodger Stadium.
The clip must be from 1971, and Elton, still looking like a puppy child, with rectangle-framed glasses and plenty of shaggy hair, sits at an upright piano and brings out a sheaf of lyrics — pages all written in longhand by his collaborator, Bernie Taupin. Cutler and Furnish made the very smart decision to focus on Elton’s hottest glory days as an artist (1970-1975), culminating in the night in ’75 that he performed at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles before 110,000 people. The film jumps back and forth between a chronicle of those insanely creative top-of-the-mountain glam years and Elton in 2022, during the last leg of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which culminates in his return to Dodger Stadium for his final concert in America.
