Leave your thoughts about Charm City.
| Hammer to NailChristopher Llewellyn ReedIt's a powerful movie ... because it raises a myriad of issues, asks a lot of questions, offers some contrasting opinions, and then lets the viewer decide. |
| Chicago ReaderLeah PickettFilmmaker Marilyn Ness gains extraordinary access to her subjects and apparently their trust. |
| The GateAndrew ParkerCharm City hits with the bracingly real force and honesty of Frederick Wiseman film. It's exceptionally well edited, with all three aspects of Baltimore life depicted in both positive and negative lights, but nothing here is being skewed. |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonWith equal doses of hope and despair, this gritty and provocative verite-style documentary chronicles life on the streets of contemporary Baltimore. |
| ScreenAnarchyFrank Ochieng...[a] disturbing and defiant documentary. Thoroughly involving and moving Charm City is both oddly inspirational and nightmarish in its raw presentation. Ness oversees a different kind of horror show... |
| It's Just MoviesRon WilkinsonGritty and ultra-real look at the present day inner city. No flinching in this one. |
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe film captures up close the way violence transforms neighborhoods and families with an immediacy that transcends headlines or sensationalism. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleEven when the epidemic of violence touches a beloved character, Ness’ careful quilting of compassion and action across her years of filming suggests a fight that won’t diminish for these citizens. |
| The PlaylistChristian GallichioCharm City may not be an easy watch, but Ness argues that through empathy, progress can be made. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerDespite its dreary outlook, the film does offer a semblance of hope in the generosity, good humor and tenacious sangfroid of the people it portrays. |
