I need time to process what I just watched…will have to come back & review when my brain isn’t split open onto the floor.

The Virgin Suicides 1999
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
One of my favorites. Haunting, whimsical, and rebellion. The Libson’s sisters ethereal beauty makes them objects of fascination and obsession. Does an excellent job depicting teenage romance without fetishizing young girls. The suicide representing external vs. internal struggle…that although we appear confident on the outside we’re really hiding a shaky, insecure person on the inside. Bonus for the soundtrack by Air because who doesn’t like space rock ambient music. One critique: I felt there was unequal distribution of screen time between the sisters. Overall Sofia Coppola is a G and I love most her films.
