I couldn't give it a 100 so I've given 10/10. One of the best films that I have ever watched. Watched it third times already.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a well-executed adaptation of the 1999 novel of the same name with great performance from Lerman, Watson and Miller. With a crisp script and precise direction from Chbosky who also penned the novel, the film achieves a great storytelling standpoint supported with great acting and great movie craftsmanship. Overall, the movie is a great and excellent take of the novel it is based on.
8.0? Really??? NO NO NO! I am 100% convinced that many of the 10 star reviews here are written by people working for the company that made this film. That's why I'm giving this 1 star, to compensate, because really this movie should score 5 or maybe 5.5. I hate it when commercial incentives ruin a scoring system like this, although I can't say I'm surprised. As for the movie, it is mediocre. Not bad, not good. But just read some of the 5 star reviews here, they mostly explain this movie correctly. I'm not going to bother.
This is my first review and it is one of the best movies I have ever seen . The acting and the story is absolutely good and this movie really touches the feelings that never any other movie tried before . It brought tears to my eyes in the end of the movie . I truly recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't watched it yet , try it out ! It's definitely worth it !
