Nick Reiner: Self-Made Monster - Blamed WHO, Every Single Night?!

On September 14, 2015, Rob Reiner premiered Being Charlie in Toronto, a movie his son wrote about a boy failed by every adult around him, on that son's 22nd birthday. Six years earlier, at a Malibu rehab, the boy in the next bed had heard Nick Reiner's version of who was to blame for every bad night and every locked door, every night, after lights out. Self-Made Monster: The Nick Reiner Story opens in that room and runs all three parts in one cut, from the Reiner name to Twin Towers jail.

Castle Rock put about $3 million behind Being Charlie. Nick Robinson played the son and Cary Elwes played a cold father running for governor, and one critic in Toronto found two warring agendas in one movie. The film made $32,964 worldwide. A podcast host who had Nick on in 2016 asked him to pass a hat to his father and later wrote that he regretted it. By 2020, people with knowledge of his treatment say, the diagnosis was schizophrenia and later schizoaffective disorder, and a court had put a conservator in charge of his medication for a year.

After the deaths, Mel Brooks said he was glad Carl Reiner died when he did. Martin Scorsese wrote an essay on Christmas Day. Michele's sister Martine said their lives were changed forever. And in June 2026, a 136-page petition told a probate court that Nick loved his parents and is devastated by their deaths, in a document asking for the trust they signed before his first Christmas. Tony follows the ledger from the first page to the column that never fills. Nick Reiner has pleaded not guilty.
