One of the best movies I have seen

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2013)

The first time I watched this film, I was fortunate enough to get a private viewing of it with a Q&A afterwards with Stephen Chbosky himself. Before this, I had not read the book or heard a lot about it. After watching it, I was hooked and read the book in a day. The movie is very faithful to the book, both of which are amazing. The casting is great and each actor represents what you imagine the characters being like perfectly. In fact, there are some scenes I personally think the movie did a better job of portraying than the book did. Chbosky said that the casting of the film was incredibly hard, but if you view this film, you can tell that it turned out for the best. I am not the type of person to take picking a favorite movie or book very lightly, so you can believe me when I say that the book is my favorite book and the movie is one of my favorite movies.
