I had the privilege of seeing a preview of this movie! It is a must see starring a young man with Down Syndrome. This sweet story subtly sends a message of independence, self determination, the importance of deep relationships, and advocacy. Please make the time to see it. Bring a friend. It will not disappoint!
A modern Mark Twain style adventure story, THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON tells the story of Zak (Gottsagen), a young man with Down syndrome, who runs away from a residential nursing home to follow his dream of attending the professional wrestling school of his idol, The Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church). A strange turn of events pairs him on the road with Tyler (LaBeouf), a small time outlaw on the run, who becomes Zak’s unlikely coach and ally. Together they wind through deltas, elude capture, drink whisky, find God, catch fish, and convince Eleanor (Johnson), a kind nursing home employee charged with Zak’s return, to join them on their journey. Starring Shia LaBeouf, Dakota Johnson, and Zack Gottsagen. Directed by Tyler Nilson & Michael Schwartz. (ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS). This film is rated PG-13.
