    A really beautiful and funny story and a great introduction into the world of Lukas Moodysson, although, this is his only 'happy' film to date.

    Wonderful and funny story filled with anarchy and freedom!

    My last review for this movie was too long- let's just say I hated it.

    Great fun. There's a German equivalent: "Am Tag als Bobby Ewing starb".

    Mi piace lo stile. Riprese semplici e necessarie, senza quegli eccessi (leggi tremolii della camera) in stile Lars Von Trier. Strane le dissolvenze. Oggetto del racconto è una comune svedese degli anni '70. Lì accadrà proprio di tutto.

It may be that Together only wants to remember a time. That it does with gentle, observant humor. full review

A scruffy delight, a movie with the happiest sort of family values. full review
