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

The Guardian

Sydney Morning Herald
