Contents

Film critic Aaron Hillis described Interlandi as being under the influence of director John Cassavetes during the filming Charlie. [1]

Plot

Charlie, a working class stiff, who suspects his wife has been cheating on him, goes on a drunken rampage throughout New York City in hopes of finding his wife's lover.

Critical reception

The Village Voice , "As a story, Charlie is slight, but as an experimental character study, it's a rich and moving tangle of emotional schizophrenia." [1]

New York Post , "All in all, a lot of talented people are showcased on both sides of the camera in "Charlie." It's enough to renew your faith in the future of cinema." [2]

The New York Times , "“Charlie” has too much maudlin emoting, too many raggedy or redundant scenes... But it also has guts and soul, and a keen appreciation of grown-up pain — qualities sorely lacking in American independent film today." [3]
