It sure is!
shareOne of my favorites.
shareIt's definitely one of the high watermarks of the High School/Teen genre, it's got a lot more substance and heart to it then most and doesn't play down to it's audience. Logan Lerman is excellent as Charlie, as is Ezra Miller. Emma Waston, not a big fan of her, but she delivers her best performance in this film. The soundtrack is excellent. Also isn't afraid to delve into tough subjects like Child abuse, bullying or sexuality. I think the film is fantastic and is going to be a cult favorite.
shareWell said. I agree completely.
shareSupposedly set in Pennsyvlania, but it seemed just like my high school in Oregon.
shareThe tunnel was the Ft Pitt Tunnel leading into downtown Pittsburgh and the schools was Upper St Clair HS in the South Hills outside of Pittsburgh. I imagine the school looks familiar to lots of people who attended HS in generic buildings like that.
shareIt's a really good film - which was a great relief to me because I loved the book so much.
