Reviews

markj-02556 Lean on Pete is about a young orphaned boy trying to travel across America with a horse he took a liking too, when working with him.This film is written and directed by Andrew Haigh (45 Years). It stars Charlie Plummer (All the Money in the World), Amy Seimetz (Upstream Color) and Travis Fimmel (Warcraft: The Beginning).Haigh has created characters that feel as real as my family and friends, he also directs with a realistic eye, including some mesmerizing shots of the sky. Plummer's performance as the lead Charley is heartbreaking and constantly amazed me with the emotions he could exude with looks and actions. The story and writing are realistic and all around FANTASTIC! This film surprised me with just how brilliant it is. 10/10

harelives Nope! This is not that. Even if they want you to think it is. This is a story of ambition. Struggle for the ultimate destination. And I know those words are heavy but they suit here for the Pete.

nealkattman I don't know what lawyers say after watching a movie about lawyering. The same goes for cops and cop movies. Or doctors and doctor movies. Well I'm a lifelong horseman whose been in the racing game nearly my whole life and my take on "Lean on Pete" is somewhat mixed. The general goings on you see at the track and the people who own and handle the horses was pretty authentic. But the actual namesake of the whole production was lame as it could be possibly be. First of all running quarter horses don't look anything like LOP ...HAHA I mean this animal had a gut like Sumo wrestler and a butt like a house cat. Real running QH's look like bulldogs, (for lack of a better animal to fit the description) Then when the kid steals the horse and sets out alone on a mission to save him from the butcher shop, was REALLY STUPID. But then maybe it could happen at that. But the people who are both horse people and those who aren't was very much like any a*****e you'll see anywhere in the world.

mansolo I rented this movie thinking it was going to be one of those feel good movies but quite the contraire. Not to say it wasn't well done, it was very well done. Turns out it didn't have to do much,if anything, with Pete the horse who meets a sad end, but rather the struggles of a teenage boy just trying to make it. Just not the happy movie I was hoping for.
