Reviews for Show Me Love
It tells this story with complexity and emotional truth, something that strikes me as a rarity in the genre.
Written and directed by Moodysson with charm, a sense of fun and no condescension.
What keeps us watching are Liljeberg and Dahlström, both beautifully natural, and the hope that we'll get to see them together.
Moodysson thrillingly captures the brusque, prevaricating way teenagers talk and act among themselves as well as with adults.
This lively comedy should strike a chord with bored teenagers everywhere.
Liljeberg is a talented young actress, perceptively playing all of Agnes's moods.
Moodysson creates a fictional world that has all the aesthetic rawness and grittiness of a documentary.
One of the most honest and heartfelt teen dramas ever to grace the screen.
Incredibly fun, incredibly entertaining, and worth watching in all respects.
A poignant exploration of the cruelty and anguish of teenage existence.
A simple, charming, and slightly edgy romance between two teenage girls.
Lukas Moodyson's debut feature has a grainy, immediate feel that nicely enhances the story's emotional honesty -- a quality that our own popular teen movies have only just begun to embrace.
A completely charming reality-based romantic fantasy, both sweet-natured and sympathetic.
It's just an incredibly insightful character drama about true, awkward, beautiful first love, and it's all the better for it. Oh, and that last shot is as cute as it gets.
