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]
