VIRGO

Three friends piece together the night that changed everything, each offering a different memory of how they crossed a line. Jonah, Eli and Virgo are more than names on paper, they are voices that argue, laugh and contradict one another as music threads their recollections. The film shifts between present-day conversations and flashback scenes, showing simple choices that spiraled where no one planned. Instead of a single hero or villain, Virgo focuses on how a few reckless moments and questionable loyalties stacked up, while leaving the resolution and larger consequences out of the retelling. It feels intimate and compact, and it keeps you with the characters rather than rushing to explain everything.

Directed by Alyssa Toledo and released in 2021, Virgo is an original indie feature that leans on a music-forward soundscape, starring Drew Starkey, Rudy Pankow and Elaine Siemek.

The film did not have a wide theatrical release, and official box office totals are not widely reported. It reached most viewers through limited screenings and streaming platforms rather than a major commercial rollout.

Virgo has circulated mainly among niche viewers who appreciate small-scale films where soundtrack and mood matter as much as plot. It hasn’t entered mainstream pop culture, but clips and soundtrack notes have popped up in online conversations among fans of indie music films, helping it find a modest, dedicated audience.

Critical and audience responses were mixed to favorable, reflected in a modest 6.7/10 user score from a small sample of votes. Reviewers tended to approve of the lead performances and the way the film treats memory and responsibility, while some said its loose structure and restrained scope would appeal more to viewers who like character-driven, music-infused stories than to those expecting a conventional adventure.
