A thread of SOUL reviews by Black critics:
@Rendy_Jones has been bringing up a lot of great points about the Pixar film, whether in official review or general discussion on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rendy_jones/status/1341074532048756740
Leave it to @VyceVictus to make an entire thread of context beyond his review. He does this for war, action, and animation genres, as well. If you’re not following him, I don’t even know what to tell you https://twitter.com/vycevictus/status/1342897522319249412
The wonderful @DarkSkyLady observes that the film is refreshingly self-aware in some areas and completely clueless in others: https://www.nightmarishconjurings.com/2020/12/14/nightmarish-detour-review-soul/
Over on his YouTube channel, @HellbabyThe sings SOUL’s praises as “my favorite movie of 2020”

On his Geekly Goods channel, @LeoRydel calls SOUL his favorite Pixar movie since COCO:
Gonna be honest here, I’m having trouble finding reviews for this movie, with its Black lead (a first for Pixar), from Black critics at the more celebrated/established outlets. Make of that what you will.
