Reviews
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
thegreatwren A good sound track in a film in my opinion can make a good movie great and this film takes it a step further making a great movie near perfect. the film does a poor job of making it completely clear what year it takes place in and I had to google it to check after a famous David Bowie song came on and none of the characters had heard it before or knew who it was. I can't say if its the direction or the acting or a combination of both, but i felt as the characters did in every major plot point. Few films have made me feel this many emotions in a hour and forty-five minutes. I have never felt compelled to write a review about a film before and perhaps its simply to do with the fact that i went into this film with low exceptions and came out singing its praises but I was truly blown away. My only compliant is that i was taken out of the film every once and a while because I kept having to pause the film to google the cast as i kept recognising a lot of the cast but couldn't say from where. this includes the main actor being Percy Jackson in the film of the same name "Patrick" being the flash in justice league and of course Emma Watson and Paul Rudd among others.In conclusion this is a must see. P.S. I ranted a little forgive me.
lisafordeay The Perks of Being A Wallflower is a 2012 Romantic Drama/Indie film starring Logan Lerman,Erza Miller and Emma Watson and tells the tale about an introvert named Charlie(played by Logan Lerman) who goes to high school and is constantly being bullied non stop as he has no friends ,girlfriend nothing until one day he met a guy called Patrick(Ezra Miller) and a free spirited woman named Sam(Emma Watson sporting an American accent) who happens to be Patrick's sister and eventually the 3 of them become best mates till Charlie starts to fall for Sam who like Charlie is hiding a painful secret too as like Charlie she was abused by her own uncle sexually along with Charlie who was also abused as a kid. Overall I enjoyed this film sure I had Emma Watson in my head as Hermoine Granger and Belle but she was good as Sam,the plot is quite dark and deals with some serious issues such as mental illnesses,bullying,sexual harassments,suicide, coming out etc. Also stars Paul Rudd,Kate Walsh, Mae Whitman and a cameo with Joan Cussack I give it a B-
claudiacscb Several things about this movie made me cringe: the recycled 'unique girl that likes cool unpopular music', classic novels, a really cute kid who is bullied for no good reason, or Emma Watson's poor American accent. But truth be told, the movie got better as it went on. I really loved the characters though, especially Charlie. A really lovable movie that gave me hope, that's really all I can say. I hate life a little less because of this movie.
Daniel Kirke I watched this from finding a trailer of it online and i did hear of it years ago but wasn't sure. A lot has happen since then and when i watched it i was mesmerised through the whole film. Near the end i was crying as i could related so much with Charlie due to the amount of struggles i have had with my feeling and the horrible incident that happened to me when i was twelve.I was crying near the end, i was crying as i knew he was feeling just the same how i was when i was going through a bad time. I still am and this film help release some of those emotions.
