We are the Best!

"We Are The Best! is that rare gem, a shamelessly feel-good film that leaves you elated without resorting to manipulative plot shenanigans.The film is centered on Bobo and Klara, a pair of 13-year-olds at odds with the world, holding on to their punk ideals in 1980s Sweden as their peers embrace new wave. As an outlet for their feelings of alienation they decide to form a band, despite having zero musical knowledge, and proceed to bash the hell out of their acquired instruments while yelling about how much they hate sports."

"Lukas Moodysson makes a sweet, spirited return to form with this utterly delightful evocation of early teenage life."

"A crowd-pleaser... bittersweet nostalgia."

"The movie has the confidence of an artist who's survived some wild years himself, experimenting with style and dispassion and realizing that sweet abandon is more than enough."

"Sweet and rambunctious."

"A spectacle of children playing at being adults, and doing it inevitably badly. But not as badly as the actual grownups."

"Captures both the spirit of the early 1980s and the way pre-teens and teens have their own ideas of what's important."

"An exhilarating blast of a movie, full of heart but still punk rock... loud, crude, socially irresponsible and totally irresistible."

"Funny and frank... a delightful snapshot of female friendship at that age, from the giddy highs to the melancholy funks."

"The music is Wyld Stallions-grade, but the charm and spirit of the three girls will have you moshing in your seat."
