Nick Robinson Brings ‘Charlie Harper’ To TIFF
Nick Robinson attended the premmiere of his new film, Charlie Harper, last night, September 4. Held as part of the Toronto International Film Festival, Nick joined his cast and crew to celebrate the end of a very long creative journey.
In this new film, “The complicated relationship between Charlie (Nick Robinson, TIFF ’20’s Shadow In The Cloud) and Harper (a terrific Emilia Jones, star of the Oscar-winning CODA) unfolds in a non-linear way, illustrating the shifts in how they relate to one another over time. We check in at several points in their life together: when they first meet as teenagers exchanging mixtapes, regrouping after high school graduation, and leaving their small Florida town together for a bigger life in New Orleans.
The two have an undeniable connection, but cracks quickly start to show. There’s a lived-in authenticity to their recurring arguments. Harper, ambitiously pursuing a culinary career, is frustrated by Charlie’s listlessness. He feels condescended to when she asks him to consider taking a college course or cutting back on drinking. At various points, the characters directly offer a recollection from some undefined point in the future, when it’s no longer clear what they are to each other anymore. These scenes serve as poignant reminders of the subjectivity of memory.”
No theatrical release date has been announced.
