The Virgin Suicides for me. I bought it last week and haven’t been able to work up the gumption to watch it yet. Maybe tonight.

    Maybe I just didn’t give it enough of a chance, but I really just didn’t get this film honestly. For me it just felt like a sort of ‘depression porn’ without really much substance to it.

      The movie is an adaptation of the book by Cormac McCarthy. The book won the Pulitzer and the James Tait Memorial Prize.

      “Depression Porn without substance” is a funny way to characterize the movie.

          Have you seen some of the other film adaptations? Or read the novels?
