04/13/2020 Inspirational true life story of how to push through life. See more 01/02/2020 Intelligent and heartwarming. Handling one of life's biggest curve balls with grace and coming out on top! See more 12/21/2019 Surprisingly well done film. Reviewers who said Eduardo is not nice or relatable didn’t watch it all the way through. See more 04/04/2018 Survival stories are often a difficult listen. Make no mistake, surviving these kind of injuries, ones reminiscent of those of WWI soldiers with whole bits missing, bits you wouldn't think you could survive missing, is an incredible feat. But the personal qualities of this kind of individual are often inversely proportional to those you would find attractivery in a small space. Survivors often live by crawling over their loved ones to get out of the exit door or drink the last water. It makes the event and, in this case the subsequent recovery astonishing, particularly given subsequent events. But I was left with a profound unease about Garcia. For all his fortitude and strength, his self belief was almost psychotic. This becomes more apoarent as the story unfilds. His clandestine drug taking with his father and his infidelities during his time with his girlfriend are explained away by his subsequent devastating revelations which make the honesty more important than the damage he causes. His tales of childhood misdemeanours show a boy who thinks it is all about him and this vanity has persisted. As long as it is about him it's OK. As a film subject, he must have been a dream. There is nothing about him he doesn't want you to know.. Eduardo Garcia is a man who used some of the least desirable human qualities to survive an astonishing event. Best of luck to him. But I won't be joining him fir dinner any time soon even if he is, by his estimation, a great chef. See more 11/16/2017 Charged is so much more than a survival story. Anyone can relate to this film that involves forgiveness, love, community and the sill to live! See more 10/31/2017 I saw this as Santa Barbara International Film Festival. It is a survival story and a love story like none before it! Such a great film! See more Read all reviews
