Starring: Alexandra Dahlstrom, Rebecca Liljeberg, Erica Carlson, Mathias Rust
Director: Lukas Moodysson
While the storyline has few surprises, the central performances create a touching relationship, despite the suspicion that the male writer/director's interest in the subject is slightly dubious, or at least tokenistic.
Top CriticMoodysson's story may be an old one -- the taboo romance between lovers from different ends of the school spectrum -- but his sharp script refreshes old themes.
This lively comedy should strike a chord with bored teenagers everywhere.

Top CriticLukas 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.
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.
A simple, charming, and slightly edgy romance between two teenage girls.
Nobody can deny the honesty or the outright sincerity this film has.

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.

High school, small town, teenagers in hormone hell -- or is that heaven?
The two lead performances by Dahlstroem and Liljeberg are entirely naturalistic.
...a warm coming-of-age story that happens to be a coming-out story.
El título original (en los EUA se exhibió bajo el nombre de Show Me Love) es llamativo: Fucking Åmål no sólo sugiere indirectamente el sexo ...
