Review

A romantic lesbian first love story from Sweden that is sensitive, funny and touching. A great cast makes this one of the top lesbian-themed video releases of 2000.
A tender lesbian coming-out story that will surely melt the most cynical of hearts. This comedic, romantic Swedish drama is set in the backwater town Åmål and follows teenager Agnes (Liljeberg), a serious, dark-haired high school outsider who secretly falls in love with the carefree Elin (Dahlstrom), one of the cool “in” girls. Agnes is a troubled baby dyke who needs a hand. How Elin reaches out to the other teen and how their friendship turns to a relationship is told in a sympathetic, uplifting and wonderfully romantic fashion. (Swedish with English subtitles)
