Show Me Love, although decades old and a little dated still rings with the universal and inescapable truth that all angst ridden teenagers have to deal with; the question: Who Am I?
Our two heroines are dealing with these emotions internally and on their own. Their plight is the same and they can recognize a kindred spirit in the other but are too shy or conscious ridden to act on it.
This film is more than a "Lesbian Movie." It is about more than just the sexual orientation of the two leads (Who just happen to be female.) It is about how scared we are of society and of what others think. It is about breaking free of repression, whether it be physical or in your mind. Rebecka Liljeberg and Alexandra Dahlstrom convey this with the subtleties and emotions that only the most exceptional actors can express. They show us that it is okay to be alone and who you are. Not to apologize for who or what you love and to stand strong when faced with adversity. Because half of the time it is only in your head. This movie will forever be a classic in the LGBT world.
10/10
