Set in 1951. A young Jewish college student named Marcus (Logan Lerman) deals with anti Semitism and sexual repression all while falling in love with a troubled girl.
Pros:
•Strong directorial debut of James Schamus.
•I had know idea Logan Lerman was such a good actor. I've heard good things about Perks of Being a Wallflower but I haven't seen it in its entirety and the only other movies I've seen him in is Percy Jackson. I really hope he does more serious roles like this. I especially enjoyed his scenes with Tracy Letts who plays Dean Caudwell.
•Beautiful cinematography and costumes.
Cons:
•There were times where the musical score was relied upon too heavily. It was needed. I was already emotionally invested.
•The ending. I'm not saying it was bad or anything I just personally didn't care for it at all. It was kind of a letdown.
My Rating: 8/10
