A moving high-school narrative.. great story, music and performances!

Rating: 9/10 (12 January 2013)

This is definitely one of the best movies of 2012! We all have seen mad capers on high school years and how they are the best years et al.. this movie shows a different side of the high school years..essentially through the eyes of a troubled freshman, Charlie, played to perfection by Logan. A misfit in the world of punk hipsters, pseudo intellectuals, sporty dudes, Charlie is accepted into the group of so-called "misfits" and eventually comes on his own. This movie deals with the pangs of growing up, the pains of first love, the first kiss.. Emma Watson has really come on her own after the Harry Potter movies and delivers a sensitive performance. Erza Miller just gets better with each movie! The performances by the entire cast is superb. The music is surreal. The narrative is so engaging, your heart goes to all those kids and the problems each of them are dealing with..and you might shed a tear or two with them! As a high-school drama romance, Perks of being a Wallflower scores way above its contemporaries and others movies in this space.
