Virgin bravely tackled taboo topics like teen sexuality and free association at a time when such issues were rarely discussed openly in Indonesian cinema, delivering a socially conscious message wrapped in a coming-of-age narrative. Despite some plot transitions that feel abrupt and a few scenes that may now feel outdated or "cringe" upon rewatching, the film remains powerful due to strong performances—especially by Laudya Cynthia Bella—and relevant themes. Overall, Virgin serves as both a cultural milestone and a cautionary tale for teens and parents alike.
