What to Know

Critics Consensus

As a tour documentary, it's rather uninspired -- but as a 3D glimpse of a building pop culture phenomenon, Never Say Never is undeniably entertaining.

3/5
Pessimists will liken Jon Chu’s polished and proficient all-access documentary to an apocalyptic sign of the times. The converted shall preach the gospel with ear-shattering shrieks and hands raised in heart-shaped ecstasy. Can there be a middle ground? Go to Full Review

Though billed as a 3D film, it only applies to the concert footage, though it's difficult to imagine any of his fans complaining. Go to Full Review

Just turning the camera on gives us a sense of the madness surrounding Bieber, who seems to have risen faster than anyone in pop music history. Go to Full Review

Even if you don't like his music, you have to give him props for his hardworking demeanor. The film also serves as an interesting case study on the influence of social media Go to Full Review

Nick R @NocturnalWalrus 11/21/2024 I'll be honest. I haven't seen this, and I never will. But it's Justin Bieber. It deserves 0 stars no matter what. See more Zachary A @RT81083730 12/14/2022 The best documentary I've ever seen. See more 06/10/2021 love u biebs, this movie is amazing See more 02/14/2020 Pessimo amiga kkkkkkkk See more 09/22/2019 You have to be a serious fan to be able to enjoy this documentary. Utterly awful. I am not a fan of Justin Bieber nor will I ever be. There is more talent in a piece of Kentucky fried chicken than this young man. Truly awful. See more 09/10/2019 It's no surprise that modern music isn't held in a rather high regard but it was interesting that in the early 2010's, Justin Bieber was the one who always got the short end of the stick. I was amongst those people who pissed on Bieber because it was cool and hip to diss him. It's not to say he's without haters nowaday but the bandwagon did become old hat by the time people stopped listening to "What Do You Mean?" This concert tour/documentary is sure to please his fans but for the unconverted, it's a rather uninspired film with blatant flaws (how much do you want to bet that most of the fangirls actually know who Boyz II Men are, other than from MAYBE the Prince of Egypt soundtrack) that doesn't have a lot to gain from being released in 3D, other than because that's what literally every movie had to be released in during the heyday of digital 3D popularized in 2009, even before Avatar. This movie doesn't infuriate me but it really, really, really wasn't for me. See more Read all reviews
