"The perks of being a wallflower"

Loved it.
Saw it on blu ray yesterday at home on Mothers day.
Want to read the novel.

^ Yeah, I liked that too. An unusually sensitive and well-told 'coming-of-age' film, I thought.

There's another film called "Thumbsucker" which I really liked that was similar - I'm sure you'd like it - not the same mind you but very good nonetheless: (2005)

Ah, yes. The first film I ever saw at the (now sadly departed) Electric Shadows Cinema! I must admit I wasn't hugely taken with it then, but I was only 16 or 17. Perhaps I'd get more out of it now. :)

(I do love Tilda Swinton... one of the few actors I'd watch in anything!)

Spring Breakers. Terrifying, often hilarious fever dream of a film. I'd recommend it, but you'll probably hate me for it. :P
