6/10
A sluggish film.
4 December 2023
Sweet Virginia had a lot going for it. A strong cast with a compelling story. Only problem is the pacing of this film is very off and also has a disappointing ending. Jon Bernthal does all that he can do to try and save this film with his acting chops but he falls short of the mark. I get it that this film is trying to be like a Noir type of crime thriller but the pacing throws everything out of whack. Director Jamie M. Dagg has some very interesting characters on screen that I really wish we could have dove more into the depths of but sadly we don't. If a slow burning Noir film is your type then you might really enjoy this one. For me it was really on the more boring side with not alot happening not until 2/3 of the way into the movie. Sweet Virginia gets a mild 6 stars out of 10 from me.
