' THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER ' : STAR FILM

There's always one film you watch at exactly the right time. For a lot of people, this 2012 adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's novel was it.

It's not flashy or loud, but it's full of the kind of pain you can't quite name when you're young.

Logan Lerman's Charlie is starting high school after a summer of silence and recovery, grieving, anxious, and haunted by memories he can't escape.

He moves through life like he's underwater, until he meets. Sam and Patrick, two seniors who throw him a lifeline.

Through them he finds tunnel rides, mixtapes, Rocky Horror, and the rare comfort of being seen.  Sometimes, that's enough.
