The Playlist - Kevin Jagernauth
Touching and brimming with the energy, enthusiasm and tides of teenage love and life, 'Perks' could very well be the next classic of the genre.
80
Boxoffice Magazine - Pete Hammond
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is a sweet surprise, a funny, touching terrific and quite wonderful movie that gets it all right about the joys and heartbreaks of growing up circa 1991.
80
New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
That's the feeling Stephen Chbosky captures in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, his exquisite adaptation of his best-selling YA novel about a Pittsburgh high-school freshman who doesn't fit in and then all of a sudden does, for a spell.
60
Variety - Rob Nelson
First-time writer-director Stephen Chbosky adapts his young-adult bestseller with far more passion than skill, which suits familiar scenes of adolescent awkwardness aptly enough.
50
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
A heartfelt but rather generic coming-of-age dramedy.
