Well-intended and capably made, I suspect that "Being Charlie" will find utility in rehab circles.May 06, 2016
The result is a film so personal you watch transfixed, caught up in a life that is constantly enthralling, with a universal appeal that extends beyond the exclusive Hills of Beverly.May 12, 2016
In the end, "Being Charlie" feels like a first draft of a story that's still in progress.May 13, 2016
When it's merely observing, Being Charlie refuses to offer simple answers. [The] subplots do just the opposite.May 19, 2016
You might even want to forgive the many times it goes off the rails, falling back on the stock cliches it seemed too cool to perpetuate.January 02, 2017
Yes, there's hugging at the end, but there's also no sugarcoating the truth about drugs.May 12, 2016
Better remembered as the vehicle to healing for the family than a movie that made an impact.May 13, 2016
Mature depiction of young, self-defeating addict.May 12, 2016
There's something admirable about the fact that "Being Charlie" exists at all. It's a testament to Nick Reiner's survival. That doesn't mean it's a great movie.May 12, 2016
Even as enlightenment occurs, Charlie is still mostly a guy you want to punch in the face.May 20, 2016
A well-crafted work that features a powerful performance by former child actor Nick Robinson (Jurassic World), Being Charlie is far too predictable, relying too often on all-too-familiar drug-story tropes.January 09, 2017
Too often lately Robinson has been the best part of meh movies.
