This is a perfectly fine documentary that does exactly what you'd expect: Elton John reflects on his career, talks about his struggles, and prepares for his final North American concert. It's emotionally honest about addiction and abuse, which is valuable, but the execution is pretty standard—archival footage, interviews, reflections.
The mixed reviews tell the story: critics gave it 76% but audiences were less enthused (70%, 6.6/10 on IMDb). It's informative and respectful, but not particularly innovative or deeply insightful. If you're an Elton fan or your teen is interested in music biopics, it's worth a watch. If you're looking for a groundbreaking documentary experience, this ain't it.
The mature themes (abuse, addiction) make it inappropriate for younger kids, who'd also find it boring. For teens 13+ and adults who appreciate the music and want to understand the man, it's a solid, if unremarkable, watch.
