London Film Festival 2024
Had a fab day of film overdose with three very different films First was Elton John: Never too late, the new documentary which takes a retrospective look at his career with the backdrop of his personal life.. Produced by David Furnish, this was never going to be a hatchet job and some parts of John’s biography are a bit glossed over but that didn’t detract from the overall film which spends a lot of time in the early years and with some great archive material and some moving snippets I had never seen before, A great companion piece to Rocketman which was much more focused on his personal life The biggest annoyance was a couple behind us, obviously fans but who thought they were in their living room, chatting their way through the interesting bits and occasionally singing along. A Disney+ production, I hope and assume it will be on streaming soon, but great to see it in such a big space. Next was The Wild Robot, an animation with some huge names doing the voice work.
