The Virgin Suicides (1999)


Paramount Pictures
Directed by Sofia Coppola
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Netflix)

Five teenage sisters, each a year apart in age, grow up in the suburban 1970s. The youngest commits suicide, causing their parents to become increasingly overbearing. Boys come calling, leading to more problems at the prom. Most of the story is just teenage romance tinged with 70s nostalgia (how many Kiss references can you spot?), bookended by tragedies which almost seem like an afterthought.
