SIMAS C @simas_eros 4 days ago I fell in love with this film the first time I saw it, and it remains my favorite by Sofia Coppola (as well as her first). It possesses such a clear-sighted understanding of what drives young men and women as they seek to make sense of their emotions, passions, desires, fantasies, and relationships. A sublime film, with an unforgettable soundtrack. See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 22, 2026 The Virgin Suicides = a *4* star Movie! See more Lucile F @lucile_fl Aug 9, 2026 While I understand that the wish of the director was for the film to be light in order for the viewer left even more startled at the end, I do feel that the Virgin Suicides cruelly lacks depth and character development - whether that is the sisters, the parents or the little boys. It feels somewhat incomplete.

And we never got a reason to why they chose to commit. Yes I know the movie is directed from a 3rd person viewpoint, with the group of boys who were obsessed with the girls, but they could have developed the sisters characters a little bit more.

Because of that, we'll never really know how the girls actually felt. I really love this movie because so many films portray depression in a very superficial way. Here, we see how the sisters deal with the grief of losing their younger sister and the overwhelming loneliness that follows. The atmosphere of emotional neglect surrounding them makes you feel so much compassion for the girls. Sofia Coppola made an impeccable feature film debut with this movie. She perfectly captures the feeling of loneliness as seen through the eyes of people watching someone struggle with depression, while also showing how impossible it is to truly understand what that person is going through. For this reasons i recommend this film, because its perfect and i hope some other people can watch See more Esteban C @estebancruz Jun 21, 2026 obviously i’ve never been a thirteen year old girl, but this movie made me feel things. i think it was perfect for what it was. a coming of age film about girlhood. the contrast between girl and boy groups in their teens. strict parents (the fucking worst). it touched sensitive topics like depression and grief (and ofc suicide) with the perfect amount of importance but at the same time a nonchalant attitude only teenagers can understand. i think sofia coppola’s debut couldn’t have been more perfect, this is an absolute cult classic and i can’t believe i didn’t watch this sooner. this movie fucking rocks!!!
