So this film would've been amazing if it had handled the ending better. The viewer is probably still stunned until the ending credits roll. The film doesn't end after this revelation, of course, it has a couple of scenes later to wrap the film up, but the gravity of Charlie's Aunt's actions completely overshadow this. But the film barely talks about this, and leaves a surprisingly upbeat film with a much darker and depressing ending segment. Plus Charlie ends up finding out that the person he loved and respected above almost all others, a pillar of his life, isn't who he thinks she was, and that she nearly ruined his life.

Her death was almost merciful compared to her torturous existence. Even though she becomes a monster, she didn't have anyone around to help her out, so in the end, to some extent, it wasn't even her fault, so it's hard to hate her. She nearly ruined his life, but she was so fucked up mentally and do desperately in need of help, implied by the movie to some extent that she was being abused, either physically or sexually, and so she took it out on Charlie. The film just basically glosses over the most depressing part of the story like it was close to nothing, just a time when Charlie lost it for a bit.

The only real issue that I had with this movie was the ending (SPOILERS) involving Charlie's aunt. The messages sent by the film are important and clear. The story is relatively interesting, and the characters grow on you surprisingly quickly. Any teenager can relate to the lessons taught in this film (except for the Rocky Horror Picture Show stuff, which was really fucking weird). Wish that this had come out when I was younger so I could have had it as kind of a guide to the tempestuous years of high school. Rating: PG-13 (All Involving Teens|A Fight|Sexual References|Drug and Alcohol Use|Mature Thematic Material|Sexual Content) However, as his new friends prepare to leave for college, Charlie's inner sadness threatens to shatter his newfound confidence. Free-spirited Sam (Emma Watson) and her stepbrother Patrick (Ezra Miller) help Charlie discover the joys of friendship, first love, music and more, while a teacher sparks Charlie's dreams of becoming a writer. Socially awkward teen Charlie (Logan Lerman) is a wallflower, always watching life from the sidelines, until two charismatic students become his mentors.
