10 Underrated Movies (That Were Just Misunderstood)

The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman is an eccentric stroll through a time period that can be deemed romantically self-indulgent. It takes you out of your comfort zone and pushes you into a world of drugs, sex and spiritual visions. The last one isn't a typo, it really happens in the film. Charlie Countryman is a trip and a half, and it leaves you feeling slightly disoriented with a slight case of vertigo.

It's engaging and crazy and It's like nothing you've ever seen before; a wild love story that could easily be interpreted as something you'd see in the comic book universe. Charlie's energy is perfect enough to fit into that genre, the unassuming hero of the piece. The fact alone, that he seems to have this ability to talk to the dead makes him a great candidate for his own cape and cowl.

Supernatural abilities. Check. Badass love interest. Double Check. Villain ex he needs to take down. Triple Check.

Countless reviews have cited Charlie Countryman as void of feeling; calling it ugly, empty and pretentious. The film constantly explores the feelings and the emotions of all three main characters, exerting them throughout the story with such believability that it's hard not to get swept up in that tidal wave of emotion. The scenes between Charlie and his dead mother are heartbreaking and bittersweet, and you can see and feel Charlie's grief. It's all-consuming and definitely not ugly or empty.
