Movie Reviews of Show Me Love
Movie Review: An empathetic wonder
Summary: 5 Stars
You may have heard that Show Me Love's original Swedish title was F***ing Amal, and to explain the movie, let's put that title in context. In a wonderful scene, Agnes (Rebecka Liljeberg) and Elin (Alexandra Dahlstrom), the two main characters, sit in the back of a stranger's car before suddenly, excitingly kissing each other. Elin, says to Agnes, who we've seen in pits of loneliness and isolation, that she is only lonely as a lesbian, "Because you live in f***ing Amal; if you lived in Stockholm, you'd have a million girlfriends." Maybe that would be true, maybe it wouldn't, but that title and that line tap into that true sense of teens - and maybe all of us - that just want to be alive and free and living as they see fit. Show Me Love goes is a marvel in that it shows teens as they truly are - competitive, self-centered, confused, immature, but capable of great love and friendship and sympathy and wisdom. We get to see Elin's aggressive, loving relationship with her sister Jessica (Erica Carlson), and their relationships with their equally confused young boyfriends Johan and Marcus (Mathias Rust and Stefan Horberg), and as each additional person shows up, another person and relationship we recognize as true seems to materialize. Johan spends time in the mirror adjusting his hat so it looks cool enough, Jessica and Elin get in shouting matches about chocolate milk, and Agnes, in a fit of anger, humiliates her only friend only to cry to her father minutes later that "No one will ever like me!" In other words, they act like we did, and Show Me Love observes them with utter acceptance and humanity. Lukas Moodyson's next two movies, Together and Lilya 4-Ever, are full of the same wide-eyed understanding, but in a way Show Me Love is his purest movie, and his easiest to empathize with. The ending is pat for the honesty we've seen throughout, but it's also so pleasing and silly and great, it barely matters - by the time we get there, nothing could disrupt the love we've built for these characters.
