F***ing Amal vs F***ing dawson's creek
Naturalistic dialogue, atmosphere and dynamite performances turn what could have been an 85 minute rite of passage nightmare into a believable, emotionally true teenage love story.
Though more focused and less fluffy than Together, Show Me Love has the same warmth, humour and humanity, and is in the same way unafraid to be cruel and optimisic at the same time amid the adolescent angst and boredom on display in small town sweden (in all its glory). This film nails teenage frustration and longing without melodrama or self-indulgence. -

Are you watching Hollywood
A truly great and brave film that tackles a subject sensitively and is realistic. If this was hollywood then it would be girl meets boy. However this is Top girl in school meets outsider. Agnes knows she's a lesbian, Erica finds out she has lesbian feelings. Despite the subject material this film remains thoughtful and believable throughout. I would reccommend however I warn you that it is subtitled.
