Lean on Pete (2018) - July 24, 2018 - Blu-ray Forum

MifuneFan · 05-14-2018, 04:29 PM

A24 (via Lionsgate) will be releasing Andrew Haig's Lean on Pete on July 24th.

Quote:

Fifteen-year-old Charley Thompson (Charlie Plummer) arrives in Portland, Oregon with his single father Ray (Travis Fimmel), both of them eager for a fresh start after a series of hard knocks. While Ray descends into personal turmoil, Charley finds acceptance and camaraderie at a local racetrack where he lands a job caring for an aging Quarter Horse named Lean On Pete. The horse's gruff owner Del Montgomery (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.

Saves me from ordering the UK release.

Missed this in theaters. I've only seen Weekend so far, which was great, and I'm looking to check out Haigh's other films 45 Years and this. He's a director to keep an eye on. I'm an A24 fan, so that's a bonus. Sounds like this is an animal-bonding movie that doesn't pour on the sentimentality for once, and is actually pretty emotionally distant and, uhm, lean.

An amazing movie but a very emotionally difficult one. Somewhat optimistic but a very hard road to get there. Felt like crying at the end.

This is also not an animal-bonding movie (which was a surprise to me) but the story of one young man's survival. The horse in question is never anthropomorphized and plays a lighter role in the film than the trailer or the title might make you think.

The cover got ruined by the first half. Ugh

I would love to know how the extras on the UK Blu stack up to the extras on the US version. Anyone have insight?

Lionsgate covers are officially the worst. Always. They're at the opposite end of the creative spectrum as A24. The Region 2 disc is almost worth importing just for the (marginally) better artwork.

If anyone is buying this and can sell their code, would you please, please message me? I’ll pay up to $7 for it. Thx.

Just a heads up that it's already available for free streaming, if you have Prime.
