COMING SOON: Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being A Wallflower (US, 2012) - The Perks Of Being A Wallflower doesn’t have much new
to say about adolescent angst or the perils of first love, but this
drama’s ability to conjure up the immediacy of teen life in all its
agony and ecstasy is so potent that one may not mind the material’s
conventionality. Guiding a strong young cast through a sometimes
meandering coming-of-age narrative, writer-director Stephen Chbosky
(adapting his own novel) shows clear affection for his characters,
wisely preferring the quiet emotional moment to the overreaching
dramatic gesture. 2012TOR. |
