The Perks of Being a Wallflower is
one of the best coming-of-age films in a very long time. It’s also the very successful coming-out vehicle for Emma Watson
of Harry
Potter fame. But, she is just one facet of a
super-successful ensemble cast that includes Logan Lerman, Ezra Miller, Julia
Garner, Dylan McDermott, Kate Walsh and Paul Rudd.
The style of The
Perks of Being a Wallflower is somewhat picaresque, trying, I believe,
to include many episodes from the book, some of which are irrelevant to those,
like me, who haven’t read it. Yet, the
spirit of the actors, directed by Steven Chbosky, and the pace of the editing,
by Mary Jo Markey, keep the viewer involved and in complete enjoyment
throughout.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower gets
a 4+ out of 5.
