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?

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

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.

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
