Completely boring, average and plain piece of film work. Not special. Not influential. The story is poorly adapted [it is too all-inclusive and "full"]. Simplicity should have been the inspiration -- taking the girls and their darkly fascinating destiny into a bold, one-lined trip. Instead, it was overwhelmed with details, with one thing rushed in so another could be included. Perhaps with the subject matter, I was expecting something more controversial. Instead the movie is a light-weight, polite, feel-good documentary trying too hard to respect everybody's memory and viewpoint. Barely an extended episode of some WB Network, teenage, school-stagnant, monotonous consumerism/commercialism that needed the title "Virgin Suicides" [which ends up being the most erotically interesting thing about the whole film] to hook in viewers.
You'll be snoring. If Sofia didn't have that famous last name tacked on like some flashing red alarm, I doubt she'd even be worth mentioning. Poor direction; poor movie.
4 suicidal virginettes out of 10 (and I'm being generous).
