'Perks of Being a Wallflower' - Film, Music Review

Emma Watson in the memorable scene of the film

A coming-of-age story of a lonely introvert boy who amidst hostile high school atmosphere is initiated into a group of friends, absorbs into the ebbs and flows of friendship, discovers love, experiences intricacies of social life.

Set in 90s, based on the novel of same name, this nostalgic trip leaves us glad for the rest of the day.

Watch out for Emma Watson who we used to know as nerdy good girl, Hermione of Harry Potter films astonishes us with her audacious acts in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Be warned, below is a NSFW scene in the film. Yet, enjoyable.

Music plays a substantial role. Days after watching the film, my mind was humming three of the songs. Now that I have downloaded, it will be played for months to come.  :)

"Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac is dew on the flower.
Knowing that the performers are former lovers I got dearer to the song.

"Asleep" by The Smiths (hero's favourite song) is a lullaby sung you to sleep peacefully.

"It's Time" by Imagine Dragons is full of vigour and uplifting. It introduced me to the rising star band.

These aren't the only songs worth listening to, "Come on Eileen", "On Top of the World" and others make it a great soundtrack.
