The Virgin Suicides

This film was personally recommended to me, and with big names such as Josh Hartnett and Kirstin Dunst staring in it, I had high hopes for it being an enjoyable watch. Sadly, I was disappointed as straight from the off the film made no sense and did not appear to have an understandable storyline. Many strange events took place, such as one of the girls killing themselves at their birthday party, which was not explained and therefore confused the already hard to follow plot.
The film was presented as a rememberance of five sisters who all committed suicide, and looked at their lives and the events leading up to their deaths, however the people who were narrating the film had hardly any relationship to the girls at all, so it was unclear why they were recalling the story. Further more, from the start of the film it was made clear the sisters were all going to die, therefore I was expecting an exciting build up to this event, but the majority of the film was very random and skipped between ideas (not to mention it was very boring), and in the end there seemed to be no apparent reason why the girls killed themselves at all.
After being very disappointed with this film I would not recommend it to anyone. However, maybe you should watch it just to see if you can make anymore sense out of it than me!
