This powerful, funny romantic drama neatly integrates the dilemmas of a girl in love, the girl she loves, a boy who also loves that girl, and that girl's sister.

High school, small town, teenagers in hormone hell -- or is that heaven?

A completely charming reality-based romantic fantasy, both sweet-natured and sympathetic.

The film has some charm and a winning simplicity but not an iota of depth.

What keeps us watching are Liljeberg and Dahlström, both beautifully natural, and the hope that we'll get to see them together.

Moodysson creates a fictional world that has all the aesthetic rawness and grittiness of a documentary.

Right away this film grabs attention with documentary-style close- ups and upends teen movie cliches.
