I am big fan of Lukas Moodysson’s film WE ARE THE BEST! and until today I never really heard of any of his films before. This has so much heart and style that would eventually appear again in WE ARE THE BEST. It is amazing how well he is at dealing in coming of age stories for young girls. I love the super 16 look of the film. I can’t put my finger on why it is so perfect for the story, but it just is. Rebecka Liljeberg is such an interesting actress and she kind of reminds me of a young Anna Paquin while Alexandra Dahlström reminds me of a young Sarah Michelle Gellar. This film is so touching and it really resonated with experiences I’ve had in the past. It is yet another film I wish I saw back in high school. It also feels so ahead of it’s time.
