David H @DavidQHarris 2 hrs ago This is as good as any coming-of-age movie I've ever seen. It's a sort of American Graffiti for the generation entering college in 1999. ** *** ** *** ** *** ** *** ** *** ** *** ** *** ** I found the Aunt Helen story a little confusing and wondered if there might have been a way to leave that part out. But it's not my movie and, really, it's just a minor complaint in comparison to all the good parts of the film. This is such a good film! See more Valerie L @Balpoop 1 day ago As someone who has struggled with Charlie’s abuse and the aftermath of it this movie took a toll on me. I resonated with Charlie in a way I haven’t before with any other movie and I’ve seen thousands of movies although my experience wasn’t as painful as Charlie’s it definitely pulled some heartstrings. Not only that but I love old music and watching this was like heaven opening up to bless me with more especially since my favorite artist is David Bowie and my favorite band is the Beatles. Seeing people rate this lower than a 3 is extremely painful and honestly makes me think nobody has experienced what I or many others like me have.

Emma Watson is amazing, and the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. The ending was genuinely moving and left me thinking about life. A true gem.

See more Ron J @RT47696882 Sep 23, 2026 The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a tender story about friendship, belonging, trauma, and the strange beauty of finding your place in the world. Charlie enters high school as an outsider, carrying pain he cannot name, then finds Sam and Patrick, two friends who show him what it means to feel seen. Their bond gives the film its heart, with laughter, music, late-night talks, and moments that feel close to real life. It understands that growing up can hurt, but it can also bring people into your life who help you find your way back to yourself. The Perks of Being a Wallflower leaves you with the ache of knowing that some friendships become part of who you are, long after the moment has passed. See more Read all reviews
