Other mistake: Hayden Christensen's character is credited as Jake Hill Conley (seen in both the end credits and on IMDB) but when they explain who each boy is and why they were picked to take the girls to the dance, the voice-over calls him Joe Hill Conley.
The Virgin Suicides (1999)
Plot summary
Directed by: Sofia Coppola
Starring: Kirsten Dunst, James Woods, Josh Hartnett, Kathleen Turner
A young girl from a respected upper middle class family attempts to kill herself. Her parents are encouraged to allow her to have more social functions, but on the night of her party she tries again and this time manages to finish the job. Frightened by the degree of freedom her other daughters begin to exercise, the mother's response is to stifle them until finally they reach a point than none of them can bear.
Tim Weiner: When she jumped, she probably thought she could fly.
