Peanut Butter Falcon

I think this has a complete story or at least the highlights of a storyform at a low resolution.

OS: Bring Zack back. The story ends when the nursing home employee either bring back the escapee or fails to do so.
MC: Tyler (steadfast). MC TL: Having no future/job; a better future in Jupiter.
IC: Eleanor (change). IC TL: Babying Zack. Fearing for Zack’s safety in the real world. A fixed attitude about Zack’s limitations. Change: She changes from babying Zack to adopting Tyler’s perspective and going to Florida.
RS: Becoming a family.

OS/change character (and, because it’s a failure, RS) problem & solution: consider & reconsider (?)

That all sounds right to me. I think those broad story-strokes are what made this a good film. (I didn’t really like the magic-realism of the wrestling match). Overall this was a well done movie.
