  • Review Quotes

    • "It's not hard to see what Durst --whose music wraps moralistic pleas in raucous metal-rap -- saw in screenwriter Peter Elkoff's story: the chance for a rocker in indie-flick waters to show a brute's sensitive side yet revel in his casual menace. And if the normally appealing Eisenberg seems stuck in jangly nerd gear, Durst effectively showcases in Ritter the anything's-possible elements roiling in Mick."—LA TimesLA Times: Review: The Education of Charlie Banks (March 27, 2009)
    • "At first glance The Education of Charlie Banks seems a nostalgic coming-of-age drama about facing fears and forming character. But if you narrow your eyes and tilt your head, you'll see quite a different story: a prickly examination of the sturdiness of class boundaries and the illusion of inclusion."—NY TimesNY Times: Movie Review The Education of Charlie Banks (March 27, 2009)
