The Perks of Being A Wallflower

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.
