Storyline:
The story of witty and introspective Adam (Charlie Plummer), who appears to be your typical young adult – a little unkempt with raging hormones and excited about a future pursuing his dream of becoming a chef. Expelled halfway through his senior year following an incident in chemistry class, Adam is diagnosed with a mental illness. Sent to a Catholic academy to finish out his term, Adam has little hope of fitting in and just wants to keep his illness secret until he can enroll in culinary school. But when he meets outspoken and fiercely intelligent Maya (Taylor Russell), there is an instant soulful and comforting connection. As their romance deepens, she inspires him to open his heart and not be defined by his condition. Now, with the love and support of his girlfriend and family, Adam is hopeful for the very first time that he can see the light and triumph over the challenges that lie ahead.
Motion Picture Rating (MPAA)
PG-13 for mature thematic content involving mental illness, some sexual references, strong language and smoking
User review:
Inciteful, touching, and at times surprisingly stunning- Words on Bathroom Walls may follow familiar tropes from other coming of age stories, but there is no doubt that what lies here in this film is incredibly and uniquely original. Before I address anything else about this film, I would like to call to attention Charlie Plummer performance. His depth of emotion in his character, and his absolute brilliance playing him I think may go unrecognized, and I could not write this review without saying how truly wrong it is if that were to be the case. The other actors in the film do a very well job too, notably Taylor Russell, Walton Goggins, and Andy Garcia. There is never a dull moment in this film, you will laugh, cry, and be on the edge of your seat throughout. The film does such a good job of putting you in the headspace of this character, that you can’t help but feel, as the film goes on, that you may have done the same, were you in that same scenario. It’s a breathtaking work, and it’s not the best coming of age story I have seen. It takes familiar plot developments as does Hughes films back in the 80’s as well as some similar instances from more modern day flicks like Love, Simon and The Fault in Our Stars (both based on books like this one). However noticeable these instances may be, it doesn’t take away from what you get from this film, and it certainly doesn’t take away from what you feel without. You will leave this film with a smile on your face. It’s a clever and unique view into the life of so many stories that haven’t been quite recognized yet, or at the very least, not recognized as much as they should have been. It’s a sweet and touching tale of growing up and fearing rejection for who you are, and how to get through it when all the odds are against you and more. I couldn’t recommend this film enough. One of the best of the year.
