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.

78

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.

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.

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

“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.

THE ORIGINAL SUICIDE SQUAD.

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

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

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.

My emotional support teen suicide movie

Despite having a very dark subject matter, this film inexplicably charming. That teen angst and lust and wonder, and heartbreak and curiosity and falling out with your parents, is all portrayed so poignantly and to a killer soundtrack. I have searched and searched and I can’t really find any answers, but I haven’t stopped thinking about the Lisbon sisters in the same way those neighbourhood boys have never forgotten them. I suppose is it about those teenage years being frozen in time because the sisters never got to live beyond it, and boy am I grateful that I did.

so what if she’s a stone cold fox and I’m touching her hand?

estoy triste no hay reseña

fuck the mom bruh

Was a little bored with this one, but it is a beautiful looking film. And, two Heart songs?? Great taste ms. sofia

i’m making this movie my entire aesthetic

“We felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made your mind active and dreamy, and how you ended up knowing which colors went together.”

Gorgeous, melancholic, lyrical - Sofia Coppola’s debut feature remains an ethereal and haunting experience.

“We knew that the girls were our twins, that we all existed in space like animals with identical skins, and that they knew everything about us though we couldn’t fathom them at all.”

This was the best film by a Coppola for 20 years.

“We knew, finally, that the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them.”

This is really something.

such a beautiful film

sofia coppolla is so good she just really is

Pretty good considering it's her feature debut. I usually dislike child actors but these aren't so bad. James Woods does an excellent job in this, he makes every scene funny. I like that it's a little dark. It feels like it's missing something though...hmm. anyways, pretty good!
