One of the best from this year

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2013)

I don't know if it is age or I'm getting more difficult but lately it's been difficult for me to walk out of the theatre and feel satisfied.
But this movie made that possible. I had my doubts when I went in as I didn't feel like watching another "Teen" movie (I'm 38 in case you wonder). But "The Perks of being a Wallflower" just blew me away.
The movie just felt so honest, .. deep, and yet simple. The three main characters Charlie, Patrick and Sam feel real, .. but in ways I've rarely experienced in a movie. It's easy to identify with any of them as we all most likely encountered at some point in our life at least one of the issues they face.
I can only recommend this movie as it made me smile and I thought back to the movie for days, .. which doesn't happen a lot with movies.
