REVIEW: THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON

"This right here. This is something that binds us. Two outlaws on the road."
The summer gets an overwhelmingly adorable indie film and the Shia LaBeouf renaissance begins. I couldn't be happier. This is a sweet, simple story about two men hiking past their problems to a brighter tomorrow. One man with down syndrome and the other with a bounty, who spark an unlikely friendship. I continued to laugh throughout the film and even cried once or twice. The setting and characters feel real so I had no problem immersing myself for the short runtime. The script is exceptionally good. I kept writing quotes down throughout the movie. My one complaint is that I wanted more depth. There was so much done so well and it could have been more emotionally rewarding had I known more about the characters. Overall, solid entertainment that makes you feel good.
