Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Love, Simon or 10 Things I Hate About You, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 29 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

Two teenage girls in small-town Sweden. Elin is beautiful, popular, and bored with life. Agnes is friendless, sad, and secretly in love with Elin.
