Why watch this film?
This is a beautiful and touching movie, one of those to be watched with family. Based on the book of the same name, the story of little Auggie moves us and also helps us better understand and value the accomplishments of those in the same situation as the little boy. A positive message, with an amazing makeup ( nominated for an Oscar).

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Directed and written by Stephen Chbosky, based on his own best-seller, 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' is a love letter to all those who have been or are still misfits in school, but it also deals with complex psychological issues with sensitivity. Logan Lerman and Emma Watson's performances are solid, but no doubt the one who steals the show is Ezra Miller.
Dear Evan Hansen
"Dear Evan Hansen" brings good messages about courage and how to deal with problems in a different way than other productions, all without losing the shine of the Broadway musical it is based on. The plot follows a high school student who suffers from depression and anxiety trying to live in the complicated world of young people on social media. With good songs and motivating lessons, the story only fails in terms of rhythm, which is a bit messy and hinders the narrative's progress. From the audience and critics, one of the biggest complaints is the choice of Ben Platt ("Pitch Perfect") to play the teenage protagonist: the actor was 28 years old when he acted in the movie and was rejuvenated for the role. His performance is good and convincing, after all he also gave life to Evan Hansen on stage. However, the question remains why Hollywood continues to use much older actors for younger characters. Regardless, Platt did his job the best way possible and clearly he is not the only artist in the cast whose age does not match. In general, "Dear Evan Hansen" has a great emotional impact. Mental health is a very important topic and yes, cinema does give space for this discussion.
