The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

Genre: Drama
Directed by: Stephen Chbosky
Starring: Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Ezra Miller
Running time: 103 minutes

 


Stephen Chbosky directed this film based on his own novel of the same name. It tells the story of Charlie, a teenager trying to cope and find his own place in high school, as a freshman. He finds a group of friends to fit in, but his world will turn upside down as the reasons for his lingering PTSD finally burst out to the surface.

I absolutely loved this film. The main cast was as solid as you could want it to be. The portrayal of high school life felt truly realistic. And I adored how the story was told by Chbosky. We get bits and pieces until the full picture appears, and it all becomes so clear then. Great movie.
