Brilliant in nearly all ways

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2012)

To set the scene I try my very best not to watch trailers or see any spoilers to films so I can always review with my own eyes and mind. Today I have walked into 'Perks of Being a Wallflower' with no preconceptions or favouritism.
Verdict: The film is brilliant in nearly all ways. It's fun but not, it's happy and sad, it's got a simple story but it's deep. The film is class.
Directing wise, it was well shot and the film built brilliantly. The were scenes where the camera overlooks the skyline of the city (I don't know where) which made me want to hop on a plane, and I have just heard he wrote the book which makes me feel he was the only guy with the vision to truly make this film come alive. Director (I am sure you would never read this) - Please do this again.
Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Ezra Miller ..well everyone. I think the casting choices were spot on – give the team a cigar, the casting was nearly faultless.
Just one other final point Paul Rudd plays a great inspiring English teacher – which I don't know if it was just me but the lack of true communication between the Charlie really worked – it gave the edge this film more into the world of Dead Poets Society than say something like .... well I don't want to say.
Boomskanka – Respect Paid to everyone involved. It's an ace film.
Also for anyone younger than me wondering what the song was after watching the film – it was Lord David Bowie - Heroes
