Most helpful review Show Me Love

  • F***ing Amal vs F***ing dawson's creek

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By K from London , 04 Jul 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    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.

  • Heartfelt and liberating

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    One of the best coming of age films I have ever seen. A realistic portrayal of what it means to be a teenage girl growing up in small town Sweden, confronted by sexism and adolescent angst. Liberating, thoughtful and heartfelt.

  • A Portrailt Of Teenage Angst

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Drwatson (17 reviews) from Skegness , 01 May 2008
    Set in small town Sweden this interesting film directed by Lukas Moodyson shows teenage emotion in it's rawest form. Moodyson loves to study humanity at it's most vulnerable-this is also true of his film Lilya4ever-in both cases he takes a close look at teenage emotion and sexuality as it develops in adolecense. In show me love an unpopular and troubled teenager falls in love with a popular and attractive girl at her school. The plot develops into a lesbain love affair between the two. An interesting and quirky film from this intelligent director. Highly recommended.

    Its my second movie for the last time about teenagers, their sexual identity and adolescence...I was just curious about the debut of Lukas Moodysson. Simple and sensitive movie about teenagers living in a small town in Sverige...
