September 2012

Stephen Chbosky brings his funny and touching coming-of-age story to life in the highly-anticipated The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which perfectly captures the dizzying highs and crushing lows of growing up. Originally told through letters, our protagonist Charlie recaps his freshman year of high school as he tries to escape his introverted world and the friends who helped him do it. The film, which stars Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller, is a moving tale of love, loss, fear and hope --- and the unforgettable friends who help us through life.
