“I do believe this film is a great insight into the teenage life of a young man. And it is not something that’s addressed enough in cinema. We tend to always look toward sexuality or love relationships when in fact this is a psychosis and PLAYING FOR CHARLIE is a look at the deeper inner material or tissue if you like, of a young adolescent man and how fragile and how sensitive he is… and he is insecure about all the other factors in his life but this one driving force which with the music that was the first thing that inspired me…” “Pene Patrick’s perfectly modulated debut feature is enhanced by Leilani Hannah’s evocative cinematography and Lisa Gerrard’s distinctive score…” “I really loved this unique film. It reminded me of Chekhov and Tarkovsky… It touched my heart and made me think.” “I cried and cried – it just all seemed so true…” “I was incredibly moved by this film. The performances are amazing. It is a magnificent story told so well….” "Playing for Charlie was an exceptionally inspiring movie that would have touched many hearts. I loved the movie and would watch it over and over again." "This film has a raw, visceral power and beauty. I do not think I will forget these images and feelings in a hurry. There is light pushing through darkness. I liked seeing a young boy who is good, sensitive, caring and loving – but without being wussy. 5 STARS." "It was very involving and moving. A story I could relate to from my youth." |
