5 foreign reviews of The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019)

  • 1. Svenska Dagbladet
    5 / 6

    Translated from swedish: That the cardboard-cutout characters are still filled with both substance and complexity saves "The Peanut Butter Falcon" – a drama that often follows a well-worn path of typical indie film markers.

    4 / 5

    Translated from swedish: "The Peanut Butter Falcon" accomplishes so much with so little, and sometimes that's all you need. Zack Gottsagen delivers a fantastic performance and it's hard not to smile when you watch his character go on this journey. Shia LaBeouf gives his best performance here in his career and overall the film provides a wonderful feeling. The beautiful settings among the Louisiana swamps add so much to the movie and give it a certain timeless quality. In a world where everything is gray and dreary, this is a bright spot in the middle of it all that makes you feel warm and happy.

  • 3. Moviezine
    3 / 5

    Translated from swedish: It's well-acted, charming and at times almost touching. Like a warm hug to cinema. Together they are both lost, free and in exactly the right place all at once, you get it. The character portrayal never really goes deeper than Florida's swamplands, even though there's a nice attempt to depict Tyler's big brother in flashbacks.

  • 4. Göteborgs-Posten
    3 / 5

    Translated from swedish: Zack Gottsagen is the first actor with Down syndrome to present an Oscar. With his humor and vulnerability, he is the great strength of the film adventure "The Peanut Butter Falcon". Yet the success story tips over into overly saccharine feel-good territory.

  • 5. SVT
    3 / 5

    Translated from swedish: A clear declaration of love for Mark Twain and his imaginative world. The film may be set in the present day, but it is in many different ways, for better and worse, a story that has the scent of bygone times.
    - Fredrik Sahlin
