Lean on Pete's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
"This is a compassionately observed story told with unimpeachable naturalism and without a grain of sentimentality, propelled by a remarkable performance from Charlie Plummer that's both internalized and emotionally raw".
The Telegraph
"[Haigh] hasn?t sacrificed a shred of the understated, observational style, lace-like emotional intricacy and lung-filling feel for landscape that all made his previous film, the Norfolk-set marital drama 45 Years, such a force to be reckoned with".
The Guardian
"Lean on Pete is at its potent, stirring best during the opening furlough, when it focuses on this makeshift hobo family as it criss-crosses the Pacific Northwest from one racetrack to the next".
Indiewire
"Each scene is so quietly compelling because Haigh doesn?t focus on cruelty, but helplessness".
