This is such a painfully underrated movie. The chemistry between the three main characters is just perfect and the story itself hits so hard.

[@barryallen1984]

I watched it yesterday, and I cried for the whole night. Just the fact that change is inevitable

[@peachyylyss8970]

Tbh I’m sooooo happy it hasn’t been taken advantage of by mainstream culture. Mainly cause the cycle is to devour & immediately move on to the next big exciting thing.

[@lcvverboi]

It's honestly such an amazing movie, and it shows the actual complexities of having amazing moments and also very dark moments in life. How you can bounce back, and that it will take time to recover from trauma but you will be okay in the mean time. Super underrated in the YA fiction and teen movie world I feel.

[@TheMikeLawz]

I really loved every aspect of this movie

[@AvaBroadway]

I read the book in sixth grade, and as a person that had gone through some of the same struggles Charlie, Sam, and Patrick went through, it honestly hit really hard for me. Definitely my favorite book of all time, although the movie was equally as good as the book. If you can, get the book and actually take your time to read and understand it, because you can go deeper and deeper into Charlie’s mind.

[@v4413]

Logan portrayed Charlie exactly how i imagined charlie while reading the book.

[@meghanmonroe]

Agreed

[@AvaBroadway]

Same with Ezra as Patrick

[@ATrueOttoman]

[@plvmenace]

For some reason "I'm not a bulimic. I'm a bulimist" is my favorite quote from this movie

[@fatoumatacisse3796]

I dont really understand that line tbh. Like I dont think sam was bulimic in the book or movie or maybe I missed something

This is one of those movies that benefits from several watchings. Understanding what his aunt did to helps make sense of a lot of his motivations and why he was such a people pleaser. His view of love was tainted and it shows in every interaction

[@AvaRichesinDodd]

ahh this is one of my favorites! the author of the book also directed the movie so i think that's why it feels so special.

[@TheMikeLawz]

Oh wow, that's probably why people say it's on par with the book

I cannot even explain the HOLD this book/ movie had on me when it came out when I was in highschool. My best friends and I were a lot like this friend group, we even went to a rocky horror shadow cast show just like the one here 😭 ohhhh the memories man

the movie ending makes me cry ever time though lol

I appreciate the support 👊

[@hevs7889]

The “play” is Rocky Horror Picture Show! It’s Iconic in the musical scene! The original starred Tim Curry and it’s one of my favorites and I freaked out the first time I watched Perks, with the Rocky Horror, Dexys, the characters, the darker tones, everything! Perks of Being a Wallflower is my favorite movie of all time

[@meghanmonroe]

This book was just a masterpiece. I wrote to the author when I was still in high school, and years later, when I went off to college, I actually received a hand-signed reply. I'll treasure that letter forever.

Is a good movie. I saw the movie first and read the book for a book report in high school. Both are similar but the book explains alot of things that film left out. Also, the author of the book directed the movie as well.

Do The Lovely Bones next! That movie is a rollercoaster of emotions lol

I watched this movie in the cinema when it came out. My whole friend group at the time were all going through some really tough stuff. This movie actually changed the group dynamics. We all went to dinner after the movie and had such a big heart to heart, I swear it bonded us for life ♥️ such a great movie 😊

[@papajosiathan3455]

This is still one of my favorite movies of all time. The acting all around is fantastic of course but I really think Logan Lerman deserves endless praise for his performance as Charlie. As someone that was also introverted in that era of my life, who struggled with social anxiety and depression, watching this movie in high school was the first time I felt seen and heard, that I wasn’t alone (minus the sexual abuse fortunately). He’s a great actor and I believe to this day that he depicted the struggles of that specific mental illness in the most honest and brilliant way :’)

[@maxxie7712]

Hey there is a scene that got cut from the christmas party scene, charlie reads a poem about life to them, u would definitely enjoy it.

[@keeganpotts274]

Definitely, should do Dead Poet's Society. Great movie

[@montanarusticranch2998]

This movie was on my “To Watch List” pre-motherhood - glad I found it thrifting. I watched it twice and was drawn to it and found this clip since I’m wanting someone to connect with. Thanks for doing the reaction to it & keeping it shorter. My points of interest: - I was a senior flirting with a freshman during One Acts, but nada came from it that year. How her friend just assumed the girlfriend role and steam rolled the nice-guy... beyond me. - All the flashbacks built that suspense and when the leg rub leads to the discovery 🤯 - I used to ride on our water tank like they did in the tunnel and pretended I was riding an eagle. ❤️ - I’m glad the wallflower was picked and displayed. 💗

[@jmillz713]

Just watched this last week for the first time. One of the best films ever made. Read the book already.

[@nekromantik2009]

I love this movie. Its a coming of age drama thats very well made and most importantly acted. The whole cast is amazing mainly Logan Lerman!

[@flash2051]

You should check out the Stanford Prison Experiment. Ezra Miller is great in it.

[@littlesparrow303]

I like that you are expanding onto other genres but this was good. People should understand that guys can watch other stuff even if its romantic for girls. You're so good at not listening to the haters

[@nicolettemaloy]

This movie is one my favorites, I can quote the movie by heart I’ve seen it so many times and I still cry each time I watch it. I could talk about this movie for hours especially the ending! I’ve seen people say the ending is bad because it’s anticlimactic but I kind of think that’s the point (the book is similar in that way) the ending isn’t supposed to be this big exciting moment but its supposed to leave you with a sense of hope that yes life is hard and it takes time to recover from trauma but ultimately life gets better and I think that’s a beautiful message. That Charlie knows he’s still going to have bad days but he also knows he’s not some sad story and he’s infinite

[@steveneardley7541]

To me the best acting in the whole movie was Candace saying "Charlie" in this panicky voice just as he hangs up. She has acted like the older sister who doesn't have to pay attention to her annoying younger brother, but she actually knows him so well, that after a few sentences on the phone she has her friend call the police.
