I just so happened to catch this wonderful movie on Showcase the other night. I must say, if someone told me to watch a Swedish movie about teenage lesbians I'd probably tell them to get out of my face and then probably call them a meatball or something. But I am just glad that I watched this film. It was so incredibly well acted, written and directed. You really can't help but fall in love with Elin AND Agnes; and once a movie can so easily manipulate such a strong emotion, you know it has to be good. I found myself talking to the television at tense moments in the movie. Also, I found myself with a moist eye or two during some tough scenes.
I am not really one for foreign films, or anything without at least a few fart jokes, but this movie blew my mind. To give you an example of my normal tastes, some other movies I love include: Star Wars, Waynes World, True Lies, A League of Their Own, Half Baked and Alien. Fucking Amal was so different than any of these movies you wouldn't think I would enjoy it. This shows just how good this movie is, it really appeals to anyone who has ever been a teenager. (You people who went straight to 20 after 12 are out of luck I guess)
In the end, its a fantastic movie with excellent acting by the two girls and I suggest it to absolutely everyone.
