The performances are really raw and honest and they really go there. The movie had my attention the entire time and the cinematography and direction is wonderful too. I hadn't been a LaBeouf fan because I as an actor myself.. I am always disappointed because I work so hard and it's hard to get a paying acting job when other actors seem to get arrested and drink and do drugs and are constantly getting hired. However, his performance in Peanut Butter Falcon gave me a new window into his ability as an actor and this movie gave me newfound respect for him and hearing him speak of the film and the process really resonated with me as an actor. I never had a parent pushing me to do it and always felt alone in the business but the character of Otis has a father pushing him and he is as alone and broken as ever. If you want to see a film where the actors really listen to each other and take risks- this is it! Oh an Lucas was great too.
