The Perks of Being a Wallflower

In 1990s Pittsburgh, a shy but observant teenager enters his freshman year of high school, while always watching from the sidelines. But when he encounters a pair of charismatic seniors, they’ll help him discover connection and beauty in the world around them. An excellent ensemble cast and stellar soundtrack help fuel a coming-of-age tale that feels both specific and universal. Writer-director Stephen Chobosky adapts his own critically acclaimed novel.
