Sofia Coppola makes a stunning directorial debut with this "powerfully seductive" film that has become the most talked about movie of the year.
In the mid-1970s, in a sleepy Michigan community, live the Lisbon sisters, five teenagers whose beauty has bewitched a group of neighborhood boys. Isolated by their overprotective parents (James Woods and Kathleen Turner), they move like fleeting visions against the suburban landscape, luminous and unattainable.
But when school hunk Trip Fontaine (Josh Hartnett) convinces Lux Lisbon (Kirsten Dunst) and her sisters to go to the prom, the boys' romantic fantasies threaten to come true -- until they are engulfed in a stunning chain of events that will change their lives forever.
Based on the acclaimed novel by Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides is "a haunting mystery which captures with pinpoint accuracy both an era and an age."

Virgin Suicides, The - 4.5 out of 5 (11/13/2001)
THE VIRGIN SUICIDES is a serious eloquent narrative 2000 flick based upon the contentious novel written by Jeffrey Eugenides. The story is about a gaggle of girls in a household with an over protective mother and a father that doesn't seem to know how to reach his wife's dark emotions.
Francis Coppla's daughter, Sofia made her directorial debut with THE VIRGIN SUICIDES. I must say, although usually this is not my type of movie; this was put together so beautifully it made American Beauty

Last five minutes of "The Virgin Suicides" send shivers down your spine. - 4 out of 5 (6/20/2002)
"The Virgin Suicides" is a dramatic, sad and troubling, nicely put together little movie, touching on issues of growing up with parents who create an artificial prison for the wondering minds and souls of their children.
Although this story revolves around a family with five sisters, every individual viewing this piece can perhaps relate to rage and frustration experienced as a teenager dealing with unsympathetic and unwilling to
understand parents.

Sofia Coppola: much better director than actor! - 3.75 out of 5 (6/7/2002)
I was a little reluctant to rent this film after witnessing the painful and horrible acting job Sofia did in Godfather part 3. That aside I was pleasantly surprised by the well written and equally directed first film of Sofia.
The acting is first rate and it was nice to see the often smart assed James Wood play a character that is so different from all his other
films. Kirsten Dunst is finally showing what she is really capable of, and breaking out of the typical teenage film she unfortuna

Great movie, good disc - 4 out of 5 (1/2/2001)
Sofia Coppola has proven herself a very, VERY good director. If you loved the book, you'll like the movie as well. The video quality isn't great, but it's good, and a nice bag of features to round it out.
