Astronaut can't quite escape the gravitational pull of its story's sentimental overtones, but Richard Dreyfuss keeps the film in a pleasantly diverting orbit.
The movie doesn't seem to be playing near you.

It's meant to be consumed quickly and easily and the resulting taste is bland. Jul 27, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

In the end, only a fraction of McLeod's ambitions sticks a landing. But "Astronaut" stays afloat with sweetness, thanks to a measured performance from Dreyfuss. Jul 24, 2019 | Full Review…

It's not entirely believable, but where there's a metaphor there's a way. Old asses put out to pasture. Angus appreciates the symbolism. I bet Dreyfuss does too. Jul 24, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

An exercise in rank sentimentality...a schmaltzy fictional fantasy, the sort of picture that you might suspect has escaped from the Hallmark Channel. Jul 29, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…

Richard Dreyfuss is the one and only reason to see this film about a senior physicist who dreams of exploring space. The sentimentality and inspirational nature of this film admirable, but suffers greatly due to pacing issues. Jul 28, 2019 | Rating: 5 out of 10 | Full Review…
