The Peanut Butter Falcon

It's a really sweet film, digs deep into the meaning of friendship. Shia's acting is amazing. The movie depicts strength and vulnerability at the same time perfectly balanced with emotions. It is pure sweetness and hope with no unnecessary love stories. Loved it!

I didn't have many expectations for this movie, the trailer mainly just made it seem like something original, which is always a plus nowadays. But this movie was heartwarming, funny, and certainly original. The chemistry between Shia LeBeouf, Dakota Johnson, and Zack Gottsagen felt very genuine and natural, not to mention likable.

The first half of the film was mainly a road movie with Shia LeBeouf and Zack Gottsagen's characters, and it was enjoyable and funny as all get out. There were some moments of character development and flashbacks that were very tastefully done that utilized subtlety to show Shia LeBeouf character's background. And Zack Gottsagen's character felt very natural and likeable, with layers to his performance and connection with wrestling that showed a lot of characterization.

Not to mention, the cinematography and music was very captivating and gave the film some subtle and charming personality. The only real issue I had with it was that the pacing lagged a bit about ¾ of the way through. But it quickly found its way again and became pretty unpredictable as to where the story was going. Overall, this movie was so enjoyable, heartwarming and it was a great character movie and road movie that truly felt like a breath of fresh air.

A pure old fashion story , eulogy of freedom and friendship, touching, sweet, nice, honest and adorable. And a beautiful proof of the art of Shia LaBeouf. Short, maybe, a high useful film for remind the deep taste of life in the time of preassures, fears and fake expectations. The axis of film - magnificent Zack Gottsagen.

'The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019)' is a feel-good road movie about a young man with Down syndrome who escapes from his care-home to pursue a career as a wrestler, meeting and bonding with a guilt-ridden man on the run in the process. It's a kind-hearted, uplifting experience with a positive, anti-discrimination message and a palpable, life-affirming central relationship. The piece is sweet but never saccharine, a perfect mix of mundane realism and smile-inducing absurdity. Its world feels tangible throughout, as do all its characters, and its narrative somehow manages to milk its familiar premise for all it's worth. Even though it is, essentially, exactly what you expect it to be, you can't help but go along for the ride. At the same time, it subtly subverts some of the genre's most obvious tropes. It's a great time that doesn't talk down to its audience. It's genuinely charming and it's also rather funny. It's great. 8/10

This movie completely exceeded my expectations. The story was thoughtful and inspiring. These are the types of movies we need more of
