‘Who‌ ‌Are‌ ‌You,‌ ‌Charlie‌ ‌Brown?’‌ ‌review:‌ Audiences are given peanuts in this too-short love note to Sparky

We can all relate to Charlie Brown. The documentary sets the scene with Charlie Brown tackling an essay on ‘who I am’ which drifts into dialogue around Schulz’s childhood as a perpetually stressed-out and shy kid. Yes, a lot of Charlie Brown’s traits come from Schulz himself, except for the fact that Schulz was so smart he skipped a grade whereas Charlie Brown’s low grades were a source of his anxiety. Though the experience is narrated by Academy Award-winner and big-time Peanuts fan Lupita Nyong’o, it would have served the documentary better to have Jean or one of Schulz’s kids take this role. At least Apple TV did not skimp on the final scenes of the documentary which detail Schulz’s last days before his retirement, and you will definitely shed a few tears as Schulz says in a choked voice, ‘And still, Charlie never got to kick that football!’ Who‌ ‌Are‌ ‌You,‌ ‌Charlie‌ ‌Brown?
