Review of The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) by Lahaine2012 — 01 Feb 2013
The Perks of Being a Wallflower proves to be one of the finest coming-of-age films in years. The film was adapted and directed by, none other than, Stephen Chbosky, the author of the cult novel of the same name.
He successfully captured teenage angst, the bohemian culture of the unpopular and more personally, the trials of a terribly introverted youth; in ways that only he could accomplish. Such a fresh script was written for this memorable indie film, there was no way the three principal cast could stumble.
Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller all give moving performances, and fill the screen with characters you can’t help but root for, whether or not you agree with their lifestyle or choices. As brief as this review may be; I really enjoyed this film, down to its awesome soundtrack and its hazy conclusion.
Brisk and to the point, I highly recommend this tale, set in the early 1990’s, to all.
