Charles Officer's Nurse.Fighter.Boy is grounded in connectivity, the intricate details of life and love simplified.  Everything comes together as it should. Stunning but non imposing visuals, a heavenly selection of eclectic music and potent performances by all of the actors.  Clarke Johnson one of the stars of the film has been acting for a long time, but his performance in Nurse.Fighter.Boy has been a long time coming.  Only a seasoned actor could give the role of (Silence) the lift it deserves. While watching this brilliant piece of cinema I couldn't help but think that the young actor Daniel J Gordon's performance is definitely worthy of a Genie nomination.

This evocative film informs us that to truly succeed we have to learn how to fight. 

Nurse.Fighter.Boy could be called Nurse Nurturer and Child.  At least that's how director Charles Officer sees it.  I'm sure Charles has had many dreams come true but the completion and screening of Nurse.Fighter.Boy is magic.

Nurse.Fighter.Boy is a great story to tell over and over again.  It will definitely be a TIFF favourite for many.  The movie received enthusiastic applause and a standing ovation at Monday nights screening.  

Hal Swann a D.O.P attending the screening said "this film treated the audience with respect, trusting them to access the visual literacy of the film".

See for yourself.
