‘Luther: Never Too Much’ Review: Fans Will Dance in Their Seats With Dawn Porter’s Documentary

Dawn Porter isn’t known for pop culture docs. Instead, the filmmaker’s career is dotted with more political fare like “Gideon’s Army” and “Spies of Mississippi.” Her break from that box, however, is glorious. With music icon Luther Vandross as her muse she hits it out of the park with her Sundance premiere of “Luther: Never Too Much.”

Vandross, a Bronx native raised in a single-mother household, rose to stardom in the 1980s, garnering 33 Grammy nominations and eight Grammy wins. He also won seven American Music Awards as favorite soul/R&B male artist. In all, he’s sold over 50 million records worldwide and received 11 consecutive platinum albums.
