The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Writer/director Chbosky adapts his own acclaimed novel — about a socially awkward teen (Logan Lerman) who finds friendship with a too-good-to-be-true girl (Emma Watson, late of Hogwarts) and her gay step-brother (Ezra Miller, We Need to Talk About Kevin) — and the result is a “sensitive but still-water bildungsroman [that] captures the electrifying sensation an outcast feels when he finds his people.” (Austin Chronicle)
