Proving that #95 isn't through yet will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing's biggest stage!

Critics' reviews

"While visually dynamic, Lightning McQueen’s newest challenge still feels out of alignment with a languid end result that lacks sufficient forward momentum."

Michael Rechtshaffen: The Hollywood Reporter
"Lightning McQueen, now facing the perils of being past his prime, returns in a touching sequel that gets the series back on track."

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"There's an emotional resonance to this story (...) that leaves the other two films choking on its digitally rendered dust (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

David Fear: Rolling Stone
"While this movie may not reach the heights of Pixar’s finest achievements, it certainly stands as not only the best Cars, but the most mature one as well. (...) surprisingly moving"

Matt Singer: Screen Crush
"Cars 3 is the Best Entry In Pixar’s Weakest Franchise. A strong female character and smarter themes make this installment in an underwhelming series into a welcome surprise."

Eric Kohn: IndieWire
"A visually striking and efficiently plotted piece of entertainment (...) [but] it’s a harmless but never stimulating 109 minutes."

Alonso Duralde: The Wrap
"'Cars 3' at least tries to put a little extra in the tank this time around. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
