Most helpful review The Virgin Suicides

  • Dying to see it again

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I had first read the book, and had been looking forward to the film immensly. It captures the essence of the book beautifully. All the girls show the desperation of their family, and it does not try to over emphasise the suicides. I would definatly recommmened it and would watch it again.

  • Dying in slow motion.

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Bobsview (554 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 13 Apr 2013
    Good watchable drama. Characters are developed well and it captures the pain of adolescence. The plot of this film concerns 5 daughters who are repressed and isolated by their puratanical parents , and the family becomes the Titanic quietly sailing towards inevitable impending disaster. Uncomfortable to watch in parts and ultimately a sad tragedy.

  • A Must See - Special & Touching Story

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Goddess36 (2 reviews) , 14 Mar 2013
    This is a very good film, I felt a connection with each and every sister. If you want a good story, this is the movie for you. However, if your looking for special effects then you will be disappointed. Stop looking for the special effects, try a movie with a different approach, which lays out a story which is disturbing, sad and happy all at the same time. It also has a great soundtrack, and beautifully acted.

  • A MUST SEE

    I feel that in this day and age, people are eager to see special effects, car chases, cool stuff.. you get the idea. This film has none of those things and will always be one of my all time favourites. It is thoughtful, beautiful, and touching. It doesn't need any gimmicks. I cried and felt a connection to each and every sister. Stop expecting 'twists' and 'turns' and just tune into the story.

    Hateful book - fantastic film? Dont know why this is so? The book drags but the humour albeit dark comes through in Copplas first film. Dunst is lovely and its a shame we dont see more of ther these days.
