Perks Of Being A Wallflower

Have you ever feel like you are not cool but you enjoy that aspect of your life.  Well Perks is for you.  The film stars Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, and Ezra Miller.  Lerman stars as the main character Charlie who is a freshman trying to survive high school.  He meets Sma and Patrick.  They all have troubled pasts and thoughout the movie those histories are revealed.  The soundtrack is almost obscure but is terrific music.  It even includes David Bowie.

Emma Watson hasn't done a live-action feature film other than the harry potter films.  She does a wonderful job as American girl Sam. Trying to break away from something that she did for so long is not easy as opposed to Kristen Stewart or Sylvester Stallone who did other films while making Twilight or Rocky.  She rose to the occasion. 

The other actors do well since the subject matter is difficult, closeted gayness and child molestation.  Neither are easy to talk about.  Melanie Lynskey is a great choice as the aunt.  Playing an aunt who looks absolutely sweet but has problems is not easy and seeing her play something different then Rose was great but I liked that but characters are still sweet-like women.
