A Rota Selvagem

Haigh’s film is never less than heartfelt and affecting.

...Magnus Jønck's sublime photography enables Haigh to cast a humanist eye over Charley's plight and a little-seen aspect of the American Dream.

Lean on Pete may feel a tad too subtle for some, but it’s beautifully crafted – and there’s no disputing Plummer’s acting chops, and that undeniable star quality.

...a tale of growing up the hard way, and a redemption song, and coming-of-age movie, all wrapped in and coiled around a devastatingly pure performance from Charlie Plummer.

..a rivetingly beautiful film...
