Peel

Didn't know what I was getting into when I threw this movie on but it deff. left a great impression. The story itself was interesting and in actuality could happen and similar stuff probably has happened to people. It was believable and the main actors and most of the others did a great job of making me believe this.

It is deff. a feel good movie and would recomend

7.3

A must see gem of a movie. Brilliantly paced and crafted. Acting top notch, almost faultless.

Thirtysomething Peel Munter (Emile Hirsch) lives at home alone with his sick mother. Twenty-five years ago, his father took his two older brothers and drove off. After his mother dies, he has to raise money for the mortgage. He rents a room to Roy (Jack Kesy) as he tries to find his brothers.

This sweet story could have been great. I think it's Emile Hirsch's low energy complete innocent performance. I don't know if I completely buy it. More importantly, I think it would work better as a twitchy recluse who isn't working at a 10 year old level. It would allow for more character growth over time. I don't think Peel is growing as much in this. He's more a magical figure who makes everybody better. That is still sweet.

Really touching storing. Reminded me a lot of my family growing up so very relatable characters. The acting was fantastic. Great blend of humor and drama. Very lovely photography as well.

What a shame almost no one on this planet saw this movie as of now. It didn't get a proper release, but it should have. Peel is a low-budget indie film with a bunch of heart and very good performances, and it doesn't try too hard to be emotional. Emile Hirsch is great in this.

Overall there was potential here for an even better story but it's worth seeing still and I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a cute and fun flick with something to say. It's a good time.
