Swedish non-virgin non-suicide
14 July 2005
The title of the film may be misleading, because in Sweden the concept 'Miss Sweden' applies to any Swedish girl, who lives her life under normal conditions. It seems that the whole term 'Miss Sweden' is thus democratized and the title should be understood in this context. The film itself presents charming and promising young actress Alexandra Dahlström, whose character in the film is not charming at all. Moe is dirty and little overweight anti-hero with pimples and messy hair and ugly haircut. Instead of being a cute young woman, she's more like a hobbit, and the director even puts her running along the trail and stumbling in the woods to make this impression stronger. She's also very unlucky with her boyfriends, who are somewhat older than her and they don't even love her. She's just having sex with them until she gets rejected. In any case she is not a whore, because she does it for free and of pure credulity.

Funny things happen as she starts rebelling against her environment and these ensuing situations are the best and funniest moments in the whole movie. She makes mistakes, but gains sympathy. She is however not always easy to bless with sympathy because in one scene she may be having sex with a dude, and at another she utters the English four-letter-word as if nursery rhyme –she's almost a child– disgusting! If this movie had been made in the USA it could have been produced in totally different manner. But if you were looking for pleasure because of that, here's one special item for you. I only watched it for its interesting subject, but it did not give anything special for me. The film has not a story that teaches us anything.
