It’s not until the inevitable major battle that the heroes win thatPeter Pan & Wendybegins to take on an expanded, fresher direction. Simply put, the dynamic between resisting growing old and the revelation that growing old is part of life is more prominent in the back of the narrative, ...
“Peter Pan & Wendy” very much flies its own course. As with 2021’s “The Green Knight” and his lovely 2016 remake of “Pete’s Dragon” for Disney, Lowery brings a willingness to take complex, emotional deep dives into
