Reviews
|
Film Threat -
The Peanut Butter Falcon refuses to condescend to its star and tells a story that’s authentic to the life and experiences of adults with Down Syndrome.
|
|
The Playlist -
By keeping the humor rooted in the performances and only letting sentimentality creep in when necessary, Nelson and Schwartz have crafted a film that feels refreshing, unique, and emotional.
|
|
Consequence of Sound -
While one wishes the beats were a touch more oiled, the film’s strengths reside outside the confines of narrative.
|
|
The Film Stage -
What it lacks in originality it makes up for in its empathetic charm. Sometimes that’s just enough.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
Gottsagen is too lively to be completely pinned down by feel-good clichés, and his unpredictability brings out the best in LaBeouf. As in most buddy pictures, so long as the chemistry works, all else is forgivable.
