Summary: One of the best movies
Review: This is simply a wonderful movie! Its superbly acted by both stars, although Rebecca Liljeberg steals the show. I also thought the dad was excellent. Its a movie I can really relate to, even though I'm neither a girl nor a lesbian (nor swedish) :) And Agnes is so cute you just want to hug her to death! I love this movie and highly recommend it.

Summary: A great film about life.
Review: This is a brilliant movie about the life of some people in a boring small town in Sweden. It's about being an outsider, like Agnes (Rebecca Liljeberg) and the difficulties about being popular, like Elin (Alexandra Dahlström), who discovers a new side of herself. This is not only a film about lesbians and a problematic love story. It's also a movie about life, love and about prejudice. Agnes mother says she has nothing against lesbians, but it's really hard for her to accept that her daughter is. All the charachters in this movie are very good, the lead characters are, and also the smaller ones, especially Jessica, Elin's sister, Agnes's parents and Johan and Marcus. And the actors are great in their roles. This is a fantastic movie about being young and all the problems that might be involved. And also about how difficult it can be to be a parent. It is full of great scenes, like the car scene and the toilet scene. And Elin's and Jessica's arguments.

Summary: The Best Young Lesbian Flick I've Ever Seen
Review: I saw this film at a Gay film fest in my city. The story of Elin and Agnes is just great as it portrays the younger lesbian scene and a very true picture of hat life is like for gays and lesbians growing up. As a hopeless romantic I recommend this to anyone. And I am sure you will find the final scene where the two girls emerge as a couple the funniest scene and the highlight of the film. Not to mention for the guys in the audience... the young male stars may be brainless... but they are something to stare at.

Summary: Love, even with alien names, is universal
Review: It's the agony and fun of school days which one recollects from Agnes's (Rebecca) character. Though brought up in a Steel city of Durgapur (it is to Calcutta as Amol is to Stockholm), where life is not all so FREE and OPEN; sex at that age is unthinkable, still there are many many things common between the characters of Amol and those I grew up with in Durgapur. When I was infatuated with a girl at that age, my love was similar to Elian; crazy about the limitations of the other sex. And the embarassment I had in store for my parents was too common as Agnes's. My father has always been kind ofan watchdog for me, atleast economically since he was always afraid about myself getting spoiled. A similar picture comes out of Agnes's mom who not only breaks Agnes's privacy but also disregards her reservations cooking beef in Agnes's birthday inspite of knowing that she's a vegeterian. Even my father has always been very insisting, though as I grew up I found others' father are sometimes more nagging and maybe I got an optimal one! The agony of being tricked by Elian as Agnes slaps her and consequent madness is well expressed by Rebecca. But the toilet scene, which comes as an acid test of Elian's love for Agnes is just too good. For Agnes, who had always been bullied by the tall smartie, it was a time to amaze her when Elian introduces Agnes as her new girlfriend. It's an ultimate joy for Agnes. The movie is a really well thought one. But the way the handicapped character has been dealt, it can give a blow to a handicapped spectator and could have been avoided.

Summary: Buy it!
Review: In England,films of this nature only ever get limited releases, which is a shame because they are usually among the best. Bigotted cinema bosses don't show them because of their content so my friend and I had to travel to London(we live in the north nearer to Manchester) and I will say it was worth it. Awake for over 26 hours straight, I'd do it again. It was funny, it had a great storyline and highlighted the problems that younger people go through at school, when you reveal something like being gay, the amount of abuse you suffer is incredible, and the film shows it's okay to be different. Top class and a definate purchase.

Summary: Show Me Love, shows it in all the right ways!
Review: "Show Me Love" is a coming of age story for the new millennium. It shows the hardship of being different in a small town. Not only does it show how it's hard to be an outsider growing up in high school; it shows the further difficulty of loving someone perceived to be unobtainable. "Elin" and "Agnes" take us on a journey of being young, and being in love. In the end it shows how to be honest with your self and to persevere in a hard world. A true story of friendship and love in a new world.

Summary: an amazing underrated film
Review: Definately the best one of the best sexuality themed films out there. A story about being young and issues about teenage love. Beautifully shot with grainy handheld work, it is definately one to own on DVD. Leaving Las Vega director, Mike Figgis, wrote about this film in the British press bemoaning the invisibility of such worthwhile films as this (which he found truely inspirational) due to the distribution and marketing situation for independent and foreign films. This is a million times a better move than 'Kings of the Desert' or whatever that rubbish was called! Enjoy.

Summary: So real, it hurts
Review: Show Me Love, also known under the 10 times better foreign title of F**king Amal (isn't there some sort of statute of limitations on Puritanism?), is an incredibly frank and naturalistic story about what it is like to be 14, in love, and trapped in a one horse town. The fact that the movie is based in Sweden and focuses on a relationship between two girls does nothing to harm the universal appeal of this intelligent and remarkably well-crafted film. The director, Lukas Moodysson, has such a fine eye for the day to day minutiae of the teen years you will recognize many of the film's best moments whether you are from Lubbock, TX or a place like Amal, Sweden. Alexandra Dahlstrom plays Agnes, a retiring teen who has only one outcast friend even though she has lived in Amal for three years (a fate made more acute by the fact that rumor has it she is a lesbian.) Agnes is of course in love, Who wasn't at 14?, with the most popular girl at school Elin (Liljeberg). One night Elin kisses Agnes to fulfil a cruel dare, and she discovers to her surprise that it wasn't all that bad. Elin reacts to this shock by taking up with a doltish boy to show how "normal" she really is. The resolution to this tangle is not the standard simplistic run down you would get from a Hollywood movie. Throughout the film you are constantly reminded that kids are cruel, even the ones you might be rooting for, and that life is filled with unexpected turns. Overall, a terrific movie that deserves to be seen by more people.
