Film Threat
pressNever Too Late is a feel-good message movie featuring four men and a woman all needing to resolve something meaningful in their lives.

The New York Times
pressWhile it's generally a pleasure to see stalwarts like Cromwell, Weaver and Jack Thompson (as one of the old gang) at work, one also wishes they had found, well, better work.

Variety
pressWhile "Never Too Late" goes for a few too many old-folk chuckles, it also aims to probe the serious.

The Guardian
pressIt's difficult - probably impossible - not to be charmed by the principal characters and their actors, all of whom can oscillate to pathos quickly.

Sydney Morning Herald
pressWith this line-up, Lamprell should have turned the film into a celebration of some great screen careers. Instead, it winds up as a sad waste of talent.
