All that’s best in books, films, podcasts and DVDs

(Drama, Action)

After a series of hard knocks, 15-year-old Charley Thompson (Charlie Plummer) and his single father, Ray (Travis Fimmel), move to a new city for a fresh start. All Charley wants is a home, food on the table and to attend the same school for more than one year. But Ray soon descends into personal turmoil, forcing Charley to find work. He takes a summer job caring for an ageing horse – Pete – at a nearby racecourse, where things start to improve.

Based on Willy Vlautin’s muchloved novel, Lean On Pete is the compassionate and moving story about the fundamental human need for love, acceptance and family.
