“As her youthful swain, J.J. Winchester, Charlie Reid is asked to show the many sides of his character, which he does with ease and comfort. J.J. morphs from insolence to sincerity with wonderful and stylish acting that leaves us gasping in expectation of where he might go next.”
J. Peter Bergman, The Berkshire
