At times I wasn’t sure that the movie knew exactly what it wanted to say. And yet it remains quite a powerful experience.
02/11/05
Moss' performance is solid, but undone by the palsied hand-held camerawork and the script's general lack of focus.
01/14/05
The more you consider the theological undertones of Virgin, the more radical it becomes.

Falls short of being satisfying, hurts a little to experience, and the next morning you're thinking it wasn't worth the trouble - sound familiar?
10/22/04
As a religious-themed movie, Virgin is as unconventional as they come.

So much of Virgin is bunk masquerading as sexual politics.
10/15/04
An unfortunately muddled portrait of a teenage girl going through a moral and spiritual crisis.
10/06/04
Top CriticA pretentious, unpalatable stew that serves up thematic elements touching on religion, feminism, psychosis, mysticism and guilt without stirring up any believable characters, engaging story, or emotional moments that might engage audiences.
09/14/04
Evinces too much of the Lars Von Trier influence (especially Breaking the Waves) while falling victim to some of its central character's overt strangeness.
09/10/04
Top Critic[F]elt too much like a really impressive school project, film school project but not a complete feature film.
09/09/04
It all descends quickly into desultory melodrama, with broadly drawn nightmares of demon-male small-mindedness balanced against impeccable portraits of the sacred feminine in action.
09/07/04
Kampmeier reveals her inexperience as a feature filmmaker, and her effort struggles with the weight of its own subject matter and final ambiguities.
09/05/04
Rough-edged but affecting.
09/03/04
There are some powerful emotions coursing through Virgin, writer-director Deborah Kampmeier's raw first feature, and a tighter script would have made them even more affecting.
09/03/04
Ms. Kampmeier never brings her themes into tight focus.
