Well I finally went to see this movie with a few friends since it 'arrived' to our small town's crappy movie theater just recently. About time! So as you can expect being born and having lived my entire life in a small town where everyone knows your business better than yourself (you know what I'm talking about), I could relate to this movie in that sense. Basically it's just a story about bored young people with nothing much developing or creative to do in their little ***ked up town, so they just kill time drinking booze, going to lame parties and just hanging out on the streets, even though they'd rather wanna do something else. But what that 'something' is they don't really yet know.
A small town with prejudiced minds, teenaged angst, peer pressure, dating issues/problems, and general annoyance about how things always seem to be the same old same old **it. And why nothing -ANYTHING- interesting ever takes place in our community!! I think we've all been there. ;)
This movie's pretty much as realistic as a movie can be without turning into a documentary. Hugely raved about by the critics is a fact that always make me _really_ suspicious, but in this case at least they were pretty much right. It is indeed a great entertaining movie that's not to be viewed as some 'lesbian love' movie. It's even a tad annoying and superficial but hey, that's how your life was when you were in that age.' Elin' and 'Agnes' act well and so does Agnes' whole family. Other characters' acting is pretty standard.
If you're already post-teen (hehe!) this is your chance in taking a trip down to memory lane and realizing how boring and frustrating teenagers' life really was back then when you were young kid. At least I'm satisfied that those days are behind... if not entirely forgotten. ;) In case you just wanna check out if there's some hot nudity and love scenes, don't waste your time. Rent a blue movie for that. This movie really isn't that shocking, but it's simply fun to watch!
By far the best Swedish movie I've ever seen. ;)
