Show Me Love (1998)
7/10
Sensitive and Sweet Romance
8 June 2006
The sixteen years old Agnes Ahlberg (Rebecca Liljeberg) has been living in the small Swedish town of Åmål with her family for one year and half, but she has no friends. She secretly loves her popular school mate Elin Olsson (Alexandra Dahlström), a girl bored with the lack of perspective of Åmål. In Agnes's birthday party, Elin kisses her and changes their lives.

Yesterday I saw the masterpiece "Lilja 4-Ever" and I decided to know a little more about the work of director Lukas Moodysson watching "Fucking Åmål". I am really impressed with the sensitivity of this director. "Fucking Åmål" is a delightful romance with an unusual theme – lesbianism. In the hands of another director, this story could be heavy, or explore sexual situations. However, it flows naturally, very sweet, making the viewer cheers for the success of the romance between Agnes and Elin. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Amigas de Colégio" ("School Friends")
