The guy from Percy Jackson is a right weirdo and is moving to a new school. Nobody knows or likes him at this new school and even his sister ignores him for the most part. Then he meets the kid from We need to talk about Kevin and Hermione Granger and they all become bestest pals. They are all misfits in their own way and all have some serious stuff going on in their lives. Hermione is a little bit cooky and out there and Kevin is gayer than Dale Winton whilst Percy is quiet and loves a good book. All three of them then learn a lot about their lives and friendship and show us snippets aswell.
We have all seen the trailer for this film but for those that haven't here is a brief overview. Emma Watson climbs on the back of a truck because she is a free spirit then describes how out there and unique they are then screams on the truck again. This did not fill me full of confidence when putting this film on. You can imagine my surprise then when I actually found myself engaged in the characters and storyline and by the end I could honestly say I loved it. The lead actor, Logan Lerman, is great at being lost and alone and really makes you feel for his story and life. Ezra Miller (Kevin) is also brilliant as the gay best friend bringing real heart to the performance. You can tell how good he is in that it takes a while to realise he ever played Kevin, also a brilliant performance. Even Emma Watson is great despite the cooky lines she spits out. As the film develops you realise there is more to each of their characters and stories and the filmmakers feed you this information beautifully. It all culminates in a surprising way that I didn't see coming but in typical form Sara the great predictor did (despite the fact these predictions often occur as the revelation is happening). Genuinely a great film made all the better because I thought it would be shite.
Verdict: 5/5
