The Peanut Butter Falcon: Criterion Collection is out this week on Blu-ray, Amazon Video and DVD. There’s also just SIX chapters and the menu is static and silent, with a picture of the cast from the cover. However, while there are subtitles in English, the major downside is that there are zero extras. If you enjoyed the film, then you’ll be pleased to know that it brings the gorgeous backdrops to life, and there’s a complementary soundtrack. I know that sounds a bit syrupy sweet, but if the film is ever that at all, you don’t mind it, here. However, that’s not the case with this film, which is about wanting to be free and escaping the day-to-day drudgery of life, and going on an important journey in life, but a real journey and one of spirituality. In a former life, I’ve visited a number of care homes as part of a job I did at the time, and man, it was depressing. There’s also great banter between the two leads, and as they set off together on their accidental adventure… John Hawkes, Thomas Haden Church, Bruce Dern, John Bernthal, Dakota Johnson and more are all part of the cast of the upcoming The Peanut Butter Falcon. Additionally, I wondered if co-director Tyler was a fisherman, hence the characater, but I can’t find anything online regarding that. There’s great direction, occasionally with two characters on extreme opposite sides of the screen, with the scenery inbetween, which looks gorgeous. Zak (Zachary Gottsagen) and Tyler (Shia LaBeouf) First, he must escape the clutches of his care home, and thanks to the help of fellow inmate Carl ( Bruce Dern), he makes a break for it, much to the annoyance of care home worker Eleanor ( Dakota Johnson).īefore long, his paths cross with fisherman Tyler ( Shia LaBeouf), who has his own problems as he draws unfavourable attention from certain individuals, and what follows is a a very bizarre premise, as these two find an unlikely alliance, but it’s pretty engaging, and certainly another string to Shia’s bow, since after three Transformers films, he could easily have sucked on Hollywood’s satanic shilling, but has mostly spent his time making arty pet projects.Īlong the way, Zak always puts himself down because of his condition, while Tyler helps him to see the bright side of life, but our hero likes peanut butter and wants his wrestling name to be The Falcon, hence the movie title. The Peanut Butter Falcon centres around Zak ( Zachary Gottsagen), a young man with Down’s Syndrome lives in a care home, but longs to be a wrestler.
