As Evan searches for hints of beauty in his school’s everyday drabness - Chbosky’s aesthetic could be fairly described as “the ‘before’ part of a commercial for mood-altering medication” - the film gets stuck in the banality he’s trying to escape. At his corniest, he illustrates that Evan has gone viral by flinging a flurry of smartphone video responses through a black vacuum until they coalesce and form an Instagram photo. Director Stephen Chbosky ( The Perks of Being a Wallflower) similarly struggles to create a scale sufficient to fill the silver screen. His veiny, strangulated delivery while singing is the only way he can convey his inner turmoil, working against the wooden inertia of his posture and blocking. Platt’s technically accomplished, otherwise disastrous performance starts to make more sense as an act of compensation.
