The Virgin Suicides | Rotten Tomatoes
- ️Wed May 12 1999
The Virgin Suicides drifts with a dreamlike melancholy that may strike some audiences as tedious, but Sofia Coppola's feature debut is a mature meditation on disaffected youth.
Lucas F As a girl watching this i could honestly relate to the Lisbon sisters a lot.This movie (and Sofia Coppola) depicts girlhood so well that i felt a sense of deja vú while watching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Micaela M Such an interesting compelling story being told in this film. This is a movie you kind of just have to watch and experience rather than read reviews to see if you'll like it or not. Very emotionally intense Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Nick G This hypnotic film feels like youth exactly the way you remember it. It moves too slow and is full of longing and anticipation. It sounds, looks, and moves like nostalgia. But like all the good times, it's fleeting and punctuated with pain and consequential mistakes. A lovely and beguiling tale of privilege failing to protect youth and innocence. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Nazya Derin K Sofia Coppola has done an excellent job cinematographically. There is almost no difference between the book and the movie, there is no originality, but this does not change the movie in a bad way in any way, on the contrary, it helps us understand the Lisbon sisters better. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Fabrícia F Imersão profunda nos dramas que permeiam a juventude norte-americana da década de setenta, sob a perspectiva de cinco jovens adolescentes que despertam o fascínio da vizinhança e evocam mistério no imaginário masculino dos garotos. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review julie b Hazy, summery, yet something hypnotic and haunting. Impressive to be able to create suspense and mystery around a story where you know the ending right from the start, the soundtrack is perfect, and the way the story is told and why is very interesting to reflect on. I appreciated the length but at the same time it left me wanting more; I can see this being something I rewatch multiple times. “You’re not even old enough to know how bad life gets” Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis In an ordinary suburban house, on a lovely tree-lined street, in the middle of 1970s America, lived the five beautiful, dreamy Lisbon sisters, whose doomed fates indelibly marked the neighborhood boys who to this day continue to obsess over them. A story of love and repression, fantasy and terror, sex and death, memory and longing. It is at its core a mystery story: a heart-rending investigation into the impenetrable, life-altering secrets of American adolescence.
