Lean on Pete (2018)
Friday 29th June 2018
From acclaimed filmmaker Andrew Haigh (45 Years, Weekend) comes a deeply moving story told through the unique prism of one boy's connection to a very special racehorse.
15-year-old Charley (Charlie Plummer) arrives in Portland, Oregon, with his single father Ray (Travis Fimmel), both eager for a fresh start after a series of hard knocks. While Ray descends into personal turmoil, Charley finds camaraderie at a local racetrack where he lands a job caring for an ageing quarter horse named Lean On Pete. The horse s gruff owner Del (Steve Buscemi) and his seasoned jockey Bonnie (Chloë Sevigny) help Charley fill the void of his father's absence until he discovers that Pete is bound for slaughter, prompting him to take extreme measures to spare his new friend's life.
Charley and Pete head out into the great unknown, embarking on an odyssey across the new American frontier in search of a loving aunt Charley hasn't seen in years. They experience adventure and heartbreak in equal measure, but never lose their irrepressible hope and resiliency as they pursue their dream of finding a place they can call home.
Featuring an award-winning performance by Plummer, Lean on Pete, released on DVD and Blu-ray 9th July 2018 from Curzon Artificial Eye, is a compassionate and heartrending look at the desire for love, family and acceptance.
