Do you have a film that makes you so happy but so completely sad at the same time? Because this film, this hazy and soft and sparkly film is mine.

So impenetrable, sleepy, unsettling and fierce. For me, it isn't really a question of why the Lisbon sisters do what they do, but why so many people look at them with confusion, mystery, and detachment in their mind and fantasies. Why does Trip leave the football field that night, exactly? It certainly isn't post-sex ennui. Rather, it stems from the male dominance refusing to come to terms with someone complex, someone who needs not to be judged but simply understood as another person, in all their flaws and fuzzy grey areas. The only constant, real-life individuals are the Lisbon sisters - everyone else is attempting to enter a dream-world that doesn't exist, suddenly being given consequences to their elusive actions.

Kind of amazing how Sofia Coppola made a stylized movie out of, what is essentially, the color beige in film form

THE ORIGINAL SUICIDE SQUAD.

the group of boys: maybe they’re born with it

me: OR MAYBE ... JUST MAYBE .... it’s mental illness innit

Probably would have loved this in high school. I really shouldn’t compare it to Mysterious Skin because they’re both completely different movies doing completely different things but if we’re talking movies about teenagers that understand angst and deal with heavier subject matter, Mysterious Skin is a movie that really does the damn thing. 

This just felt a little too muddy and drowned out in it’s own ideas. Interesting but definitely left me wanting more. I know a lot of people claim this as Coppola’s best but in my stupid little opinion she tweaked everything this was missing in her later work. Made me want to watch Bling Ring.

“what lingered after them was not life, but the most trivial list of mundane facts: a clock ticking on a wall, a room dim at noon, and the outrageousness of a human being thinking only of herself.”

the virgin suicides has always made me feel like i’m in a hazy, fragile, feminine dream. it makes me feel sad but happy at the same time. coppola blood must have genius running through it. 

this film shows us the unpredictability of adolescence and how our actions can affect those around us. the lisbon sisters are ethereal and angelic; the boys study their every move to a tee but they couldn’t ever possibly know how to put all of the pieces together.

boring white people movie

Sofia Coppola knows good music she ALWAYS has the most bangin soundtracks. Sofia if you see this please give me your info so I can follow you on Spotify

Sofia Coppola really makes the best movies about depressed white women huh?

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

this movie is the embodiment of the male gaze.

a comfort movie of mine but i hate white people so its hard to watch

I watched this almost right after finishing the novel and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised (and only a little disappointed a couple scenes/narrations were left out). Obviously, it's not often a film adapts well from a book, but I think Sofia Coppola did a really nice job. I loved the soundtrack and the neutral, pastel colors. The message was still clear and it wasn't hard to become immersed in the world of the Lisbon girls, seeing everything occur in front of me instead of moving my eyes over pages of words. I think this is one I'll keep coming back to during episodes nostalgic reminiscence because it reminds me of how I felt at those ages and gives me a little bit of hope, too. Such a lovely film with lovely cinematography.

Can you handle a station wagon? 😤🤔😎🥵

i personally would run away but i mean that works too

Weird premise 
Weirder ending 

Don’t really get it tbh

Wow. Really loved this movie and the soundtrack is so good. The narration is really great. The movie is so sad but also like dreamy? Weird contrast. Sofia Coppola wow

Mhm

i love lux

it was a really good film especially for it only being the 2nd film she directed. there’s something so dreamy about the way it’s shot and narrated, that scene of Lux in the field was just so gorgeously shot.

Just great in every way

Worth watching for the soundtrack alone.
