Get ready to fall in love with Charlie Harper, a poignant new romantic drama that's about to hit theaters nationwide. The film, which premiered at last year's Toronto International Film Festival, is set to make its big-screen debut this Friday, September 25. But before you can see it in all its glory, we've got an exclusive sneak peek to whet your appetite.
Directed by Mac Eldridge and Tom Dean in their feature directorial debuts, Charlie Harper tells a non-linear love story that explores how two people can share a relationship yet remember it completely differently. The script, penned by Dean, follows a young couple with big dreams as they meet, grow together, and eventually drift apart. It's a deeply human story about memory, love, and the paths we choose.
Our exclusive clip transports us back to 2009, a time when hope was in the air. Harper (Emilia Jones) and Charlie (Nick Robinson) are full of that optimism, leaving their old lives behind to start fresh in New Orleans, a city still rebuilding after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. We see them moving into their ramshackle new home through grainy camcorder footage, a nostalgic touch that adds intimacy to their journey.
Harper dreams of becoming a chef, though she's currently just a server at a cheesy Cajun restaurant. Charlie, on the other hand, is clearly smart enough to do anything, but he's starting at the bottom rung of a blue-collar job. They have grand plans for their future, but as Harper's narration hints, things don't quite turn out as they hoped. To find out what happens, you'll have to catch Charlie Harper when it opens in theaters this weekend.
Emilia Jones is currently captivating audiences in Tony, Matt Johnson's unconventional biopic about Anthony Bourdain. Next, she'll star in The 99'ers, a film about the U.S. women's national soccer team at the 1999 World Cup, alongside Zoey Deutch and Emily Bader. Nick Robinson, meanwhile, recently appeared in the Netflix rom-com Voicemails for Isabelle with Deutch, and he's set to play Joe Kennedy Jr. in the upcoming Netflix drama series Kennedy.
If you're a fan of real-life romance on screen, this one's for you. And if you're looking for more streaming picks for the weekend, we've got you covered. Charlie Harper is a must-see for anyone who loves a good love story with a twist.
