Sofia Coppola tackles the issue of teenage suicide with an assured treatment in The Virgin Suicides, effectively employing a seriocomic tone.
Emanuel Levy, Variety
Fresh
A very curious and eclectic piece of work.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Fresh
A disarmingly poetic - and specifically female - vision of adolescence that it belongs in a category of its own.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Tragic, haunting, and sometimes darkly comedic, this movie leaves a strong impression in its telling of a story about the destruction of innocence.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
