Charter is an uncomfortable film that makes no attempt to soften the moral complexities of the situation its characters find themselves in.

A gutsy, discomforting look at some imperfect mothering.

Charter, Amanda Kernell's absolutely riveting tale of a mother (a potent Kathleen Turner-esque Ane Dahl Torp) who had the audacity to leave her husband (read: sarcasm) and must resort to kidnapping her own children...

Rated: A

A testament to the rewards which can be reaped by pushing outside of one's comfort zone, Kernell sails her film into unexpectedly emotionally rife plateaus.

Rated: 3.5/5
