Review of The Virgin Suicides (2000) by Abha M — 26 Feb 2011

I like to think of myself as open-minded enough to enjoy indie movies,.

But truth to tell I haven't watched any that have knocked my socks off.

This one doesn't either. I couldn't tell if it was meant more as a.

Condemnation of religion personified by Mrs. Lisbon or a contemptuous.

Look at the time period in general. I grew up in the 70's, and my.

Memories of that simpler time are much rosier than this. While I didn't.

Mind seeing the movie from the boys' perspective, I think it would have.

Been more powerful and effective if we had been clued in to what the.

Girls were feeling as well. I also found it odd that we only got to see.

One character grown up (though another narrates - Ribisi was.

Wonderful). This is worth watching, however it is not a great movie.

Merely a good one. I'm still in search of the great indie movie...
