The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is a coming of age film directed by the book's author. Charlie (Lerman) is a freshman who has had a troubled past. He soon meets some friends such as Patrick (Miller) and Sam (Watson) who Charlie soon falls for.Unlike your average high school film, this doesn't just go for comedy and decides to deal with bigger themes such as isolation and acceptance. The film is surprisingly dark in places and starts to get uncomfortable near the end. Yet Wallflower is still a sweet and smart film about friendship that stays with you after it finishes.
All three leads are exemplary, yet Miller arguably gives the stand-out performance as he changes from the joyful teenager to heartbroken lover with such ease. Watson sheds her Hermione in commendable form while the supporting cast all help raise the game.
****Good
