This was a beautiful coming-of-age movie🫶 I love how it touched on such deep topics while still being hopeful and sweet. I honestly wasn’t expecting the twist but I think it was very important to show because SA/Rape against males is sadly often downplayed or ignored.I think it did an amazing job showing how each character was going through their own problems (which was so sad) and how they all were there for each other through it. Charlie was one of the best Protagonist in a movie I’ve seen, he is genuinely so kind and accepting and honestly just the best. Again, seeing what each character was going through was so heartbreaking and the friendship between the three main characters is just the cutest.
Synopsis
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1991. High school freshman Charlie is a wallflower, always watching life from the sidelines, until two senior students, Sam and her stepbrother Patrick, become his mentors, helping him discover the joys of friendship, music and love.

J’ai pleuré quand j’ai compris le sens caché du film.
MY FAVORITE MOVIE
Heartbreaking movie. If you want to feel like your heart is being taken out of your chest then watch it IMMEDIATELY. I cry easily, I have to admit, but this movie not only made me cry, it also made me question myself on so many different aspects of Life. There’s very few movies that I consider life changing but i definitely count this one in. I do not want to spoil anything so i am just going to say that if you are like me, doubting about you life choices, about who you are now and who you’d like to be and just basically in a weird place with yourself then this movie could help you find your way. (It deals with mental illness and s.a so if you are sensitive about those subject please be careful)
