Reviews


90
Film Threat - Alan Ng
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.
83
The Playlist - Ryan Oliver
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.
75
Consequence of Sound - Randall Colburn
While one wishes the beats were a touch more oiled, the film’s strengths reside outside the confines of narrative.
75
The Film Stage - John Fink
What it lacks in originality it makes up for in its empathetic charm. Sometimes that’s just enough.
75
The A.V. Club - Mike D'Angelo
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.
