“Will have fans dancing in their seats, playing karaoke to some of his best slow songs, or in the mood for love, which how his friends, family and Porter want him to be remembered most.”—Ronda Racha Penrice, The Wrap
Luther: Never Too Much, the documentary film from award-winning director Dawn Porter (John Lewis: Good Trouble), chronicles the story of a vocal virtuoso Luther Vandross. Using a wealth of rarely seen archives, Vandross tells his own story with assistance from his closest friends and musical collaborators including Mariah Carey, Dionne Warwick, Valerie Simpson and Roberta Flack.
The film relives the many stunning moments of Vandross’ musical career, while exploring his personal life, health struggles, and a lifelong battle to earn the respect his music deserved. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. 2024, U.S., DCP, 101 minutes. Recommended for 14+
