| Beautiful Elin has a promiscuous reputation, but she's in fact a virgin and just as confused about her image and sexuality as Agnes and as Jordan, the awkward moped-driving wallflower who idolizes her. Agnes, secretly a lesbian, is in love with Elin but is too shy to do anything about it. For different reasons, Elin ends up at Agnes' birthday party as the only guest. They have a girl's night out together but after that Elin desperately avoids Agnes. A very well balanced, credible, tender yet bittersweet story about young love and confusion in a small insignificant Swedish town where nothing ever happens and where the latest trends are out of date when they get there. Moodysson's best film. The apt title was changed in the puritan US only in the not so apt title Show Me Love. |
