Leave your thoughts about Love, Charlie: The Rise and Fall of Chef Charlie Trotter.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperNeither hagiography nor cold-plate dish, this is a solidly researched, well-photographed, crisply edited film that chronicles Trotter’s life with journalistic integrity, while providing fascinating glimpses into the “foodie” culture of the times, in Chicago and around the world. |
| Original-CinLiam LaceyDirector Halpern has described her film as a cautionary tale about the pursuit of excellence. And if Love, Charlie isn’t really that, it’s still a lively character study. What’s most interesting here is the glimpses of insight into Trotter’s unusual mind. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayWhat makes this film so fascinating is that its subject remains an enigma: a pioneer who did a lot of good and inspired a lot of people, then faded quietly away, leaving questions about who he really was. |
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenThe editorial assembly and talking-head presentation of “Love, Charlie” is a bit too dry for my taste, struggling to build an intriguing pacing with and-then-this-happened storytelling. But the emotional power of the film benefits from its extensive archive, and how it displays it. |
| TheWrapRobert Abele“Love, Charlie” plays like a whirlwind story, and an often entertaining one, but there’s no breathing room to process anything beyond hitting the highs and lows. We’re left in some unresolved limbo between celebrating what makes a high-end restaurant sing and considering this culinary legend’s life a cautionary tale. |
| User ReviewValhalla3This documentary is a compelling movie about a complex chef who changed food culture. The cameos from Wolfgang Puck, Emeril and other famous chefs give great insight. |
