Review of The Virgin Suicides (2000) by Dean V — 15 Sep 2011
I would be lying if I said this movie was not dark because it is.Its very dark. In fact,the whole movie is dark and depressing. They try to crack a few jokes once in a while and follow it up with a suicide. There's no redemption.
The acting by the main characters are really good. James Wood,Kirsten Dunst,Kathleen Turner and Hanna R.Hall act great in this film.These are most of the people you will see of the movie. There are 5 sisters and only 2 are highlighted and 3 are pretty much just cameos. They gave little character development to the other 3 sisters.
The movie is like American Beauty if you took out the quirky attitude.Its not as good as American Beauty but I appreciate what they were trying to do. Some scenes do drag on too long and for its 1 hour and 29 minutes of run time,this movie felt a little too long. Overall,this movie is not as good as the dark movies I have seen but "the virgin suicides" is worth a watch.
