Leave your thoughts about The Education of Charlie Banks.
| I.E. WeeklyAmy NicholsonThe film's potential cynicism is suffocated with a TV movie flatness, occasionally--and egregiously--spackled with sentimental music that makes it sag when it should slice. |
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsIf you're at all intrigued by the idea of exploring angst and anomie among the entitled upper crust, then this Ivy League variation on Fight Club just might satiate that effete brand of bloodlust. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisI fully recommend The Education of Charlie Banks to anyone looking for something truly and subtly different. |
| Film Comment MagazineNicolas RapoldThough painted with broad strokes and marred by dialogue howlers during key moments, Education tracks Charlie's emerging sense of identity and perspective. |
| Metromix.comGeoff BerkshireIf Banks had actually opened pre-Longshots it would have signaled a surprisingly smart start for Durst's filmmaking career. |
| About.comJurgen FauthA surprisingly amiable coming-of-age tale that is especially remarkable for its honesty about class. |
| New York PostKyle SmithThe Education of Charlie Banks wants to be The Great Gatsby of college movies. It falls a tad short. |
| Time OutStephen GarrettFor a man prone to unleashed inhibitions, [director] Durst's creative approach feels all bottled up. |
| User ReviewJason PThis has negative reviews because it was directed by Fred Durst. This is actually an incredible movie with believable characters. I have a short attention span and this movie just flew by. 9/10 Oh yeah, for what it's worth, I absolutely despise Limp Biskit's music and couldn't have possibly of approached this with any more skepticism. Glad I watched it, great film. |
| User ReviewKeith CThis was so good I love the lead character he is a little cutie and if course Sebastian Stan=HOT!! |
