THE VIRGINS

Cinemavixion Review

Matthew Wilson's "The Virgins" offers a surprisingly charming and often hilarious take on the wedding night jitters, centering on a young Christian couple whose best-laid plans for consummating their marriage are hilariously derailed by a cascade of unexpected events. Anchored by strong performances from Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sonya Davis, and Phillip Keiman, the film expertly navigates the delicate balance between awkwardness and genuine affection. Wilson, who also penned the script, imbues the narrative with a keen sense of comedic timing and a gentle understanding of burgeoning relationships. While the plot hinges on a series of mishaps, it never loses sight of the genuine connection between its protagonists. This 2014 comedy, clocking in at a brisk 86 minutes, is a delightful exploration of firsts, proving that sometimes the journey to intimacy is paved with the most unexpected detours.
