Leave your thoughts about The Rolling Stones: Charlie Is My Darling - Ireland 1965.
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerRevisits a time when 'satisfaction' was more about rebel labor of love music than media attention, before it all became corporatized. Along with a discomfort with fame once upon a time, that has now ironically evolved into anxiety when one is without it. |
| Village VoiceMelissa AndersonCharlie Is My Darling captures the quintet at their most impossibly vernal and beautiful. |
| Slant MagazineTed ScheinmanThe doc weaves its footage into a meditation on sex, art, and money among a band not yet wearied of all three. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottWhat you see is the intensity of rock 'n' roll at a time when it still felt risky and thrilling. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibThe kinetically shot concert footage captures the volatile dynamic between performers and audience, as Mick Jagger's provocative posturing is followed by fans storming the stage. |
| Paste MagazineFrank PasquineAny Rolling Stones fan -- and quite a few who don't necessarily identify with the band -- will find much that is endearing in Charlie is my Darling. |

| User ReviewGrant SAn illuminating and entertaining music documentary. Covers the Rolling Stones' 1965 tour of Ireland. Features concert footage, backstage and hotel scenes and interviews with the band. At the time the Stones were still more a blues/R&B band, rather than the rock superstars they would later become. All other Stones films I have seen were in the rock days, and there's a difference. Here the Stones, though obviously big in the music world - just see the fans adoration, especially from the young girls - seem to still have a degree of innocence and are almost shocked at how popular they are. They still don't really think their fame and popularity are permanent. There's almost a lack of self-confidence on their part, especially from Charlie Watts. Also interesting to see that some of the standout Stones features are already there. Most particularly, Jagger's stage performance is all movement, swagger and bravado - that came early. Plus you see the natural musical ability of Keith Richard(s) and the shyness of Charlie Watts. The interviews, particularly with Jagger, are quite illuminating. You can see they are not addle-brained louts, but young men who think about their art, what has come before and where it is going. A relatively unique Stones experience. |
| User ReviewMitchell WThe live footage alone is essential - easily the best glimpse we have of the Stones back when Brian Jones was a vital part of the band. |
