The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

According to the Urban Dictionary, a wallflower is a loner; a shy kind of person, who chooses to observe instead of experiencing life; who, often proves to be uncommonly interesting and even cute, if one cares to know him. The movie tells the story of a wallflower, who is a freshman and how he finds true friendship. Something terrible happened to him when he was a little child and that has something to do with him becoming a loner in the first place; but you get to know the truth only at the end. I am not a fan of films that revolve around school campuses, because usually they are too chaotic or they have a "message" to convey; this one belongs to the latter type. I liked Ezra Miller in We Need to Talk About Kevin and here too, he is impressive. Emma Watson has grown into an attractive young woman. The wallflower and his English teacher, develop a formal yet sweet relationship between them, which involves reading of books.
