Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2018)

The Perks of Being A Wallflower is a 2012 Romantic Drama/Indie film starring Logan Lerman,Erza Miller and Emma Watson and tells the tale about an introvert named Charlie(played by Logan Lerman) who goes to high school and is constantly being bullied non stop as he has no friends ,girlfriend nothing until one day he met a guy called Patrick(Ezra Miller) and a free spirited woman named Sam(Emma Watson sporting an American accent) who happens to be Patrick's sister and eventually the 3 of them become best mates till Charlie starts to fall for Sam who like Charlie is hiding a painful secret too as like Charlie she was abused by her own uncle sexually along with Charlie who was also abused as a kid.
Overall I enjoyed this film sure I had Emma Watson in my head as Hermoine Granger and Belle but she was good as Sam,the plot is quite dark and deals with some serious issues such as mental illnesses,bullying,sexual harassments,suicide, coming out etc.
Also stars Paul Rudd,Kate Walsh, Mae Whitman and a cameo with Joan Cussack
I give it a B-
