A movie for all the outcasts out there

Rating: 8/10 (23 January 2017)

"The perks of being a wallflower" is a warm movie through all its cold and bitter moments and truths. It tells the story of Charlie, fresh to High School, who didn't have much luck with friends so far and who suddenly finds himself in a group of people he seems to belong to, yet it also causes him some trouble to really take a stand for himself.
Of course you could argue that in some point the movie seems a bit like the typical Hollywood Popcorn cinema but I do believe that it carries on an important message. Maybe it can give hope to some lonely hearts out there and show them that wherever there are bad people, there are also some good around.
As you can already see from my description, the film moves along a thin line between beauty and cliché but I have to say that for me it stayed on the beautiful side more often and so, all in all, I do recommend to give it a try and see if you can draw something out of it.
