We Are the Best!
A film by Lukas Moodysson

Swedish with English subtitles
Running time: 102 minutes
Magnolia Pictures

Stockholm in the early '80s. Bobo, a restless thirteen year old, is best friends with fellow outsider Klara, a rebel without applause. The two defiantly decide to start a band  who cares that they have no musical skills or experience? They soon entangle a third girl, Hedvig (a bit square  and Christian  but hey, she's got real talent) in their dream, and the three begin practicing at the local teen center. Adapting his wife Coco Moodysson's graphic novel, Never Goodnight, Swedish director Lukas Moodysson (Show Me Love; Together) creates an invigorating portrait of teenage punk  that boisterous, rambunctious energy that's re-fueled anew by each generation's sense of righteous passion, impatient desire for independence, and uneasy brew of angst, anger, and ambition. Thankfully, music is the map that serves to navigate the vagaries of our comings-of-age. We Are the Best! is a delightfully vivacious experience, brimming with infectious humanism, that perfectly captures the irrepressible spirit of youthful rebellion.
