Our take

Sofia Coppola made her name as the premier auteur of girlhood with this spellbinding feature debut, the first of many collaborations with Kirsten Dunst. Now a beloved cult classic, this swooning yet eerie portrait of sequestered adolescence shatters the illusion of wholesome American suburbia.
