Synopsis
Charley Thompson, a teenager living with his single father, gets a summer job working for horse trainer Del Montgomery. Bonding with an aging racehorse named Lean on Pete, Charley is horrified to learn he is bound for slaughter, and so he steals the horse, and the duo embark on an odyssey across the new American frontier.

Cinematic Threads
I love films like Terence Davies's The Long Day Closes because it's so evocative of memory, and it makes you feel something about the time and the place.
