The Virgin of Highland Park

About This Movie

The Virgin of Highland Park is one of those indie flicks that really plays with the absurdity of teenage life. It’s a dramedy that hits home with its awkward yet relatable moments, like when this teenager finds out she’s pregnant during a routine medical test for soccer. The tone is a mix of cringe and genuine heart, and it somehow balances those elements pretty well. The pacing has its lulls, but there’s an authenticity in the performances that really pulls you in. It’s interesting how it tackles themes of sexuality and identity in a way that feels both fresh and slightly nostalgic. Practical effects aren't a focus here, but the rawness of the dialogue makes it distinctive in its own right.
