A very lively film whose ending gives a sensation of leaving behind a youth that, although dramatic, love-filled and happy, is never permanent. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 12, 2024

It can sometimes be hard to watch a film adaptation of one of your favorite teenage books because, too often, they fail to live up to the brilliance of the page. Luckily, this was not the case for the 2012 adaptation...

The films biggest achievement is how beautifully it captures the rich tapestry of teenage experiences soaked in lessons learned for a lifetime.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 22, 2022

How warmly rewarding it is to watch people seem to actually like each other once in awhile

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of the best coming-of-age films ever made, from its strong performances...to its eloquent but grounded screenplay.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Sep 23, 2021

The result, while generally pleasant, is neither compelling nor memorable enough. The figures and situations are somewhat familiar, generic, rounded off.

| Feb 12, 2021

In this fraudulent alternate reality, eccentricity appears unconvincingly appreciated.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 2, 2020

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is a delicate film which captures the pain, fragility, love and joy of being young like few before it have.

| Oct 27, 2020

Celebrates the stories that make up our lives and the friends and loved ones who help us survive the journey.

| Original Score: 4.0/4.0 | Sep 19, 2020

Stephen Chbosky's decision to translate his M온라인카지노추천 cult novel into a movie where "the gay kid is the coolest kid" pays huge dividends...

| Jun 23, 2020

Chbosky's film captures many of the feelings that can engulf the adolescent mind.

Filmed on location in Pittsburg, the setting is the 90s but the script is timeless. Some scenes are as visually compelling as the characters.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 22, 2020

A pleasant enough evocation of the first stirrings of confidence and maturity in a painfully shy teenager.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2019

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is essentially a love letter for the awkward kids, but a film I think everyone can relate to.

| Apr 11, 2019

It's a rare movie that improves upon the book in every way.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Feb 28, 2019

The film, much like its reclusive protagonist, manages to carve out its own identity amongst a sea of vapid imitators.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 5, 2019

This is boring, and it's partly that believability thing. How many alienated outsiders do you have to gather together before they become insiders? Alternatively, they are all so good-looking, smart and well-heeled, they are winners, surely.

| Sep 1, 2018

Like the best teen movies, the filmmakers recognize the power of the music we associated with our youth, and the excitement of finding somebody else who likes the same weird music you do.

| Aug 30, 2018

A surprisingly spot-on directorial debut, cementing Chbosky's voice as one to be listened to. His directorial style compliments the material to a tee, and helps to deliver a film that's as earnest, heartfelt and charming as coming-of-age dramas get.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 13, 2018

Perks hits on a kind of universal nostalgia for the teenage years...without blunting the sharp, dark edges it simultaneously imparts.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 21, 2018
