Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2014)

Wow! This is the first movie I have seen with Lerman and I am stunned at his acting ability. How can he be so talented at such a young age? I actually felt for the character. I actually felt awkward and cringed whenever he was on screen and was being pushed around. I can't say I can relate because I was never that kid in high school but now that I'm an adult I can appreciate the bullying that he suffered. We are meant to suspect that Charlie has severe issues but no one could fathom the depth of his problems until the end of the movie.
I just can't get over how talented Lerman is. He drew me in and kept me hooked from the beginning to end. At first I thought Charlie was a bit of a creep but as the movie drew on I realized he was just a typical teenager who had been through way too much at his tender age and was handling it all pretty well. This is a brilliant movie with a brilliant cast and a brilliant message. A must see for everyone.
