Brief Review |
| Cinema Sense |
(Silver) "Sofia Coppola weaves a haunting impression of the illusive and ultimately self-destructive mythical feminine allure." more... |
| culturevulture.net |
"'The Virgin Suicides' will strike a chord with anyone who grew up in the '70s. It will resonate with anyone who's ever gone through adolescence. It ranks with the very best films of the year." more... |

(grade: B+) "It's tricky stuff, but this debut hits most of its marks and is helped along by a great soundtrack and hip cast..." more... |

"'The Virgin Suicides' is a dark comedy that embodies some twisted views on suburban family life and the true lack innocence of adolescence." more... |
| Flick Filosopher: That 70s Movie |
"This is probably terribly unfair to 'The Virgin Suicides,' but I am extremely tired of seeing girls and women depicted onscreen not as human beings but as idealized, goddesslike visions." more... |
| Harvey's Movie Reviews |
" Like 'Boys Don't Cry,' 'The Virgin Suicides' is a film about an enclosed, ritualistic world which fascinates outsiders." more... |

(5 out of 10) "It may have been a long stroll down memory lane where the hair was bad and the bellbottoms were big, but in which direction did the film go?" more... |
| James Berardinelli |
(3 out of 4 stars) "Tragic, haunting, and sometimes darkly comedic, this movie leaves a strong impression in its telling of a story about the destruction of innocence." more... |
| Movie Bodega |
(4 out of 4 stars) "A gratifying and awe-inspiring debut by Sofia Coppola, her exquisite first film proves that she is her father's daughter in more than name." more... |
| Nitrate Online |
"' The Virgin Suicides' refines the familiar notion of female adolescent angst to underscore the sometimes disturbing, self-indulgent tendencies of memory." more... |
| Orlando Weekly Movies |
(2.5 out of 5 stars) "A muted, trancelike film, 'The Virgin Suicides' aims for the baffled, difficult time of adolescence -- specifically female adolescence, circa 1970." more... |
| PopMatters: Magic Men |
"And yet, for its many pleasures, I find myself conflicted in thinking about 'The Virgin Suicides.'" more... |
| Salon |
"Jeffrey Eugenides' novel 'The Virgin Suicides,' set in 1970s suburbia, is a creamy, moonbeam-laden love letter to the girls of the day, in their French-cut T-shirts, bell-bottoms and Love's Baby Soft." more... |
| Spliced Online |
"Sofia Coppola makes distinguished directorial debut with moody, dark and whimsical 'Virgin Suicides.'" more... |
