The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Trailer

Stephen Chbosky has adapted his own book, he wrote and directed. This is easily the biggest strength the movie has. I’ve never thought this would be a good idea, but it worked exceptionally well in this case. He understands his material and has an instinctive understanding of how to show a lot while saying as little as possible. This works wonders for the characters. It’s rare when a big-budget movie gets to be directed by someone who has never done it before. It’s easy to say having seen it, but still, no other director could have pulled this off...

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is due to arrive in UK cinemas on 3rd October 2012.
