Review of The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) by Liam Lacey for Globe and Mail — 27 Sep 2012
As long as Chbosky sticks to the story of surviving high school, Perks has a modest charm. But a melodramatic last-act bombshell about Charlie's troubled past, is jarring – like the giant foot of Godzilla descending to squash tender Bambi.
It's a case of too much, too late and, ultimately, from a different kind of movie.
