The Perks of Being a Wallflower

As the first half of this movie rolled by, the soundtrack was great, but I wondered what was the point of it all. The movie takes its time but it does eventually end up being “about” things – dramatically sexual things that can completely define someone’s personality for the rest of their lives. The cast was great and delivered their teenage characters easily, maybe because they’re all adults portraying children with no orthodontia, acne, or any other body issues. (Man, I could have CRUSHED high school if I had been 21!) Anyway, it’s a lovely, poetic movie, treating the very serious subject of high school with utmost artistry and seriousness. And of course, the soundtrack was good, as it should be.
