Notes:

Stephen Chbosky did a great job of translating his critically-acclaimed novel to a motion picture--I mean, who else would be able to do so? Deeply moving, nostalgic, funny, and brilliantly brewed with noteworthy performances. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is this year's best coming-of-age movie and among the best ever made of its genre.
