Simply a beautiful film

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2014)

Being a teenager myself, struggling with mental illness, I felt as if Charlie was a friend I had known for years. I understood his pain; I felt like I wanted to reach out and help him. I had read the book before viewing the film, and as I was reading it I fell in love with the characters. I felt like I truly cared about them, and what happened to them. While watching the movie, I felt myself fall in love all over again. I highly recommend watching this movie; the feeling I had while watching it I'd love for others to experience. It's a life altering movie, a gorgeous film I think everyone must see. It really opens your heart.
