The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, and Ezra Miller star in one of the best coming of age films that's come around in a long time. Logan Lerman stars as Charlie, an introvert freshman who is trying to find his place in the real world. At a high school football game, Charlie is introduced to two seniors (Ezra Miller and Emma Watson) who work to break him out of his shell. Charlie is a very layered character who holds many secrets which are revealed as the film continues to its cathartic climax. The performances are fantastic all around. Logan Lerman shows true potential as Charlie. Emma Watson also shows that she can break out of the 'Harry Potter' mold. Above all, the true star of the film is Ezra Miller. His character is just so well-written and his performance is incredibly moving. Overall, I highly recommend this film. It's a movie I can personally relate to and I'm sure others can relate to it as well.
