Peanut Butter Falcon, The

After a wrestling-obsessed, 22-year-old resident (Zack Gottsagen) of a retirement community who has Down syndrome escapes from his room in North Carolina with the help of his best friend (Bruce Dern) and dreams of meeting his wrestling hero (Thomas Haden Church) in this captivating, touching, poignant, well-acted, 98-minute film reminiscent of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and dominated by gorgeous cinematography and a great soundtrack, he is befriended by an Outer Banks crab fisherman (Shia LaBeouf) who is evading revenge-fueled rivals (John Hawkes, Jon Bernthal, and Yelawolf) while a compassionate employee (Dakota Johnson) desperately searches for her wayward charge.
