While Elin is gorgeous, lively and wildly popular at school, Agnes is sullen, lonely and rejected as a nerdy lesbian. But...( read more read more... ) when Agnes develops a crush on Elin, the exploration of love between them alleviates Elin's perpetual boredom. This Swedish award-winner reflects the joy and pain of relationships, the insecurity of youth and the courage it takes to be different.

    Realism,frivolous beauty and a caressing miracle in the routine of a Swedish small town,where the context of lesbianism is treated in utmost subtlety and openness.Moodysson is aware of his raw themes (remember Lilja 4-Ever) and I should cry out art-house cinema forever!

    For me, when watching this movie, one has to keep in mind any other teen-love movies you might have seen. Heck, ALL teen movies are fair game. Then, when watching this movie, notice how those other movies begin to crumble under their own stupidity, and jump off large cliffs like celluloid lemmings. Now THAT'S great filmmaking. Great films go straight for the jugular of other films; thinning out the herd.

    Amal is a Swedish city not a person. This is standard coming of age fare with a lesbian twist, no new ground (maybe in Sweden, I dunno), but the cast makes it delightful.

    The coolest chick in school, a female Fonzi, and the newcomer outcast, who is more intelligent and more mature than most, proudly walk through the dumbstruck, titillated crowd in the end holding hands. They are both adorable, each in their own way, and you will be happy for them.

    This film lets say it straight is very kinky and does not pretend to be more than a smart teen movie. It is all Virgin Suicide wanted to be.
    It lacks a bit of substance and the direction is less than perfect, but the characters are deep and interesting and the actors all very good.

    Fucking Ämal é um daqueles filmes que nos levam de volta ā adolescęncia e fazem com que sintamos novamente todo aquela mistura irresistível de sentimentos, aquela ternura infinita e aquele medo incontornável de rejeiįão. Final feliz para Agnes e Elin e para todos nķs.

    Young love. It's beautiful and I've been there... just like many other.
    The Swedish title is much better than the English however.

    When it first came out, there was only the Swedish version. So I had to find the script which has English translation, read it then watch it. Even then, it was hard to follow the plot. Listening to Swedish was fun though, lol.

    I wanted to see this because of my preference for foreign and Indie films to the usual hollywood drivel. I was further excited cos of the popularity this film has in its native country. However I couldn't help but be a little disappointed. This film is acurate at portraying the boredom of teens living in a small town (as I know only too well from personal experience) and highlights aspects of being a teenager well, especially school and first love but I found myself disliking the character of Elin (perhaps because she reminds me of so many people I know) and therefore found myself wondering how true her 'love' for Agnes actually was. The ending and Agnes outburst at her birthday party were highlights for me

    The best Swedish movie i have ever seen! A feelgood movie. It's about a young lesbian looser and the coolest chick in school from the small town of Åmål.

    Underful movie about being young in Sweden. The characters are extremly charming and easy to recognize. There was a big lack of decent youth movies in Sweden before F*cking Åmål.
