Review of Lightyear (2022)

By Jake Coyle (526) for The Associated Press (882) on 13 Jun 2022

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 13 Jun 2022

Ultimately, the people who made “Lightyear” bet too much on the appeal of Buzz, when they really needed to be deepening him and transforming…

Review of Lightyear (2022)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for The Telegraph (1,120) on 13 Jun 2022
