The Perks of Being a Wallflower

51Watch it awake.

True about friendship and about a wound. The wound includes abuse and a wish to die. A parent in the room, or not at all.

The review

Stephen Chbosky's film is one of the serious ones in the romance row, which is why it does not belong on as a casual tile. Charlie's letters, Sam and Patrick's kindness, and the mix tape are a true picture of being young and taken in. The story underneath is an abuse, and a mind that has wanted to stop. A thirteen-year-old may need that story someday. She does not need to meet it because Prime called the row romance.

If you watch it, watch it whole, in the room, and be ready for the aunt. Do not leave her with the infinite-feeling tunnel and no one to call.

Live Historic number 51. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Piety and Republic and Temperance are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Don't Say Good Luck

63 instead of 51

Don't Say Good Luck is still a drama film, and it scores 63 instead of 51. What you gain is industry: Rehearsal is work.

The eight

4
Industry
School, a mix tape, the work of paying attention.
6
Household
A family that is trying. Friends who become a shelter. The shelter has its own lies.
3
Piety
Tenderness, not a faith. The aunt is a false love.
6
Courage
He tells someone. That is the bravest act, and it is late.
4
Republic
A school, a party, a city at night. Not a people.
4
Temperance
Drugs, a party, a sadness the film does not glamorize and does not rush.
8
Truth
The point is that the buried fact has to be said.
6
Stewardship
What the friends hand him is a place to stand until he can tell the truth. That is real.

Best of the Best

51Watch it awake.

The practice is the good. The rivalry, the drinking, and the sex talk are the tax. Watch it with her, not as a sleepover.

The review

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan's Maya and her oldest friend join the team that was supposed to prove they still belong to each other. Lena Khan's picture is about work: rehearsal, a captain, a routine that does not care about your history. Then it is about a campus, which means the other curriculum — drinks, a smoke, talk that treats sex as the way you rank people.

A thirteen-year-old will call it a dance movie. Sit in the room. When the friendship cracks, ask which of them told the truth and which of them performed it. Leave if the party becomes the point.
