Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com I'm not sure 'Charlie Harper' would have worked any better told traditionally, either in structure or in non-fluctuating aspect ratios. Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter The showy structure overwhelms the unshowy story. All the frantic time-jumping and self-important narrating leaves little room for Charlie and Harper to simply breathe. Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Matthew St. Clair Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack) Although the film falls into the familiar trap of films with non-linear narratives jumping too hasty from one point in time to another, said narrative structure is still an intriguing decision on the filmmakers’ part. Rated: B- Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Murjani Rawls Substream Magazine Despite the display of thoughtfulness of displaying two people trying to figure out where it all went wrong, it’s the storytelling method that distills the impact of what this thesis concludes. Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Alise Chaffins Movies We Texted About (Young love) It is ugly and exhausting and wonderful and exhilarating. Despite some of its flaws, Charlie Harper is able to capture that beautifully. Rated: 3/5 Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Ankit Jhunjhunwala The Playlist The film’s design makes the flashbacks unnecessary, and what should feel revealing feels utterly tacked on and pointless. Rated: B- Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
