Emile Hirsch in Peel (2019)
Abandoned by his father at the age of five and raised in near isolation by a loving yet emotionally unstable and over-protective mother, the only life Peel Munter has ever known is within the confines of his childhood home. Upon his mama's sudden and unexpected death, 30-year-old Peel is left, lost and utterly alone. With no job, family, or friends, he must make a choice; live and die as his mother did, lonely and unsettled, or change the course of his impending fate by breaking out into the unknown to face the trials and tribulations of an outside world he does not understand. Unable to make the house payments, Peel decides to take in a couple of drifters as roommates. After forging what seems to be a burgeoning new family and brotherhood, one of the roommates betrays Peel's trust compelling Peel to suddenly venture out, in search of his long lost brothers who had been taken away from him decades ago. Along the way, Peel's lack of cynicism and innocence has an inadvertent, yet powerful effect on those he meets, as he brings a group of marginalized misfits closer to their true home.

    Well worth the watch

    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

    A Hidden Gem

    The movie starts out slow but then keeps you on your feet and just when you thought there is no hope, shines and lives you with a positive hopeful outcome.

    A good time and worth seeing.

    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.
