Good storyline

Depression is real and it was well displayed in this film. This was a creative way to show what goes on behind closed doors when dealing with depression. It's back and forth.

PTSD

A teenager and mom deal with the aftermath of a traumatic event. Coping is severely hard for the pair. The things that take place in this story are realistic and the dialogue will hopefully encourage parents who watch this film to talk to their children about various subjects. The cinematography was good.

Psychological Reverberations

Catastrophic reverberations set off by a teen's actions stay with him. Gavin White, who also wrote the piece, did an outstanding job as Charlie. There were some questions I would have liked to have answered and the pacing at times seemed slow, but this is definitely worth a look. Both Gavin and Alec Ybarra have promising futures and I would be interested in their upcoming projects.

Captivating and Deliberate

What a captivating and deliberately paced healing-of-the-soul. This story is written, directed and filmed by teenage Alec Ybarra, and I'm very impressed! I loved the subtlety of the dialogue conjunct the immense pain and internal chaos the main character is struggling to overcome. The tenderness between mother and son is a sacred relationship, and nicely executed in this film. "Charlie" is an intriguing story I would highly recommend!

Smoldering intimate drama

This isn't just a slow burn. It embers that smolder for 90 minutes with the two leads putting their hearts and souls into the film. The film uses a lot of long, lingering shots. So prepare to take your time to soak it all in.
