By incorporating sometimes too much but subtle commentary on the lives and struggles of the American underclass, Haigh gives the audience an honest, unadulterated view of Charley Thompson (Charlie Plummer) and his struggle to survive the dark world he inhabits with what at first seems teenage nonchalance. While Magnus Jonck&#8217;s distancing, beautiful cinematography and James Edward Barker&#8217;s evocative score aid Haigh innovative vision, its success is largely thanks to the stoic portrayal by Plummer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19299\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19299\" style=\"width: 246px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Steve-Buscemi-in-Lean-on-Pete-c.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19299 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Steve-Buscemi-in-Lean-on-Pete-c-300x267.jpg?resize=246%2C219\" alt=\"Del (Steve Buscemi) with doomed racehorse named Lean on Pete.\" width=\"246\" height=\"219\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 246px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 246\/219;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Del (Steve Buscemi) with doomed racehorse named Lean on Pete.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The film opens with Charley and Ray (Travis Fimmel), his good-hearted, caring, but womanizing drunk of a father, relocating from Spokane, Washington to Portland, Oregon in yet another attempt at a fresh start, which will again be jeopardized by Ray\u2019s inability to be a responsible adult and parent for Charley. Left to his own devices, Charley runs into an opportunity to make a little money at a run-down, last chance track near their new home when Del (Steve Buscemi) offers Charley a job helping with the horses.

Charley has no way to reach Ray estranged sister and the only motherly figure that Charley remembers since his mother walk away years ago. While Ray recovers, Charley begins sleeping in the horse barn to be near the only real friend he seems to have, Lean on Pete. Del, who is pretty good to Charley, offers advice on manners and learns a bit Charley, but like Del well-developed lack of attachment to his horses, never really understands Charley\u2019s predicament. Bonnie (Chlo\u00eb Sevigny), a jockey who rides Lean on Pete and might be able to save Pete by bringing over the finish line to win, warns Charley about the dangers of thinking of the horses as pets when they aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19302\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19302\" style=\"width: 318px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Sevigny-Plummer-in-Lean-on-Pete.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19302 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Sevigny-Plummer-in-Lean-on-Pete-300x153.jpg?resize=318%2C162\" alt=\"Bonnie (Chlo\u00eb Sevigny) warns Charlie Plummer not to get attache to the horses in &quot;Lean on Pete.&quot;\" width=\"318\" height=\"162\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 318px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 318\/162;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19302\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bonnie (Chlo\u00eb Sevigny) warns Charlie Plummer not to get attache to the horses in &#8220;Lean on Pete.&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When Pete\u2019s last chances evaporate, a devastated Charley steals Pete and heads across the forbidden desert of desperation and the upper Midwest.

The film urges the audience to reconnect with an America where sympathy, understanding, and compassion are core values. Charley, in fact, begins <em>Lean on Pete<\/em> as a child, and, in the end, returns to that situation after a harrowing journey, and film is more a Greek classic quest than a coming-of-age film. Besides Plummer\u2019s stellar performance, Buscemi\u2019s role provides the actor an opportunity to play more than the city-bound, film noir-esque characters he typically portrays, and Buscemi rises marvelously to the occasion. Rated R for language and brief violence,\u00a0<em>Lean on Pete<\/em> is a 24A release which runs an engaging 121 minutes. Based on Willy Vlautin&#8217;s novel of the same name,\u00a0<em>Lean on Pete<\/em> is in theaters now and worth seeing since <em>Lean on Pete<\/em> may well get some Oscar nods.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19297\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19297\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Charlie-Plummer-in-Lean-on-Pete-2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19297 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Charlie-Plummer-in-Lean-on-Pete-2-470x313.jpg?resize=470%2C313\" alt=\"An example of the natural beauty captured in 'Lean on Pete.'\" width=\"470\" height=\"313\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/313;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An example of the natural beauty captured in &#8216;Lean on Pete.&#8217;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not an Angst-Ridden Coming of Age Film by Sandra Olmsted While Lean on Pete could have been like the over-abundant coming-of-age films starring a kid tackling adult problems or teen angst, writer-director Andrew Haigh foregoes the melodrama of teen angst for a shocking reality check for the audience.
