The Peanut Butter Falcon is a 2019 American comedy-drama film directed and written by Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz. It had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 9, 2019, and was released in the United States on August 9, 2019, by Roadside Attractions.
For us this movie has real heart and soul. The openness and awareness they are a bringing to the the Down syndrome community is absolutely precious. They captured the charm of the south, while showing the even more unique charm of parts of Dare County, NC. This movie wasn't written by some big time directors, it was 2 guys with a vision to give an aspiring actor with Down syndrome a chance, and that is exactly what Zak got! The is a must see for all ages! Tyler Neilson and Mike Schwartz really have something special.
We enjoyed the movie very much and were glad we went to see it.
It’s a must see! (note: the critics and users ratings)
