The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019)
Dir: Tyler Nilson & Michael Schwartz

The Peanut Butter Falcon is a comedy drama about a man with down syndrome who runs away from his assisted living facility to pursue his dream of becoming a professional wrestler, and on his way, befriends a drifter type character who becomes his best friend and wrestling coach. On this journey they learn so much about themselves and each other, making this a very feel good film.

The film really was such a joy to watch. From beginning to end I found myself with such a big smile on my face, all of the characters were so well realised and well acted that it really felt like I was watching along with someone's real life story, alongside them rather than just watching a movie based on real events.

The character of Zak, is a self titled character played by Zak Gottsagen, who has down syndrome and so this character is really incredible in this movie, it makes a statement about the treatment of people with down syndrome without having to say anything out right, but just by the interactions he has with other characters throughout the entire film. - And that anyone has the right to follow their own dreams and and really gives out the lesson that you should always try and do your best to support those around you to pursue their dreams, no matter how much they may seem like a fantasy to you. It doesn't make their dreams any less valuable.

The Peanut Butter Falcon genuinely was such an enjoyable film to watch, it was incredibly wholesome and real, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an incredibly well shot, feel good piece of art.
