90Show Me Love has the pulse of teen life down-pat, shaming its many sleek and glossy American counterparts at every turn.
-
90A completely charming reality-based romantic fantasy, both sweet-natured and sympathetic, Show Me Love is a leader of the pack.
-
89So full of good stuff that it's impossible not to fall in love with it.
-
Moodysson has an uncanny eye and ear for teen speech and attitude, and is able to capture it without the usual condescension and exploitation.
-
87Moodysson's teen protagonists are more complex than both the high school stereotypes (the nerd, the jock, the beauty queen) in films like "American Pie" and the self-absorbed philosophers on "Dawson's Creek."
-
83Not only feels real, but it avoids preciousness and cute eccentricity and, in its lean, almost grave, cut-and-dried delivery makes more of an emotional impact because we're able to imprint our own memories of adolescence upon it.
-
80Easily the best teen movie of the year.
-
80With honesty, charm and an uncanny sympathy for all its characters, the film takes us deep inside the awkward and exhilarating experience of first love.
-
75Its portrait of adolescence seems so authentic that it puts most Hollywood products to shame.
-
75Charming and, compared with most Hollywood films like it, refreshing.
-
75American teens will respond to the directness of the issues here, as well as the film's brisk and risky tone.
-
70Shot on reverse film, poet-turned-director Lukas Moodyson's debut feature has a grainy, immediate feel that nicely enhances the story's emotional honesty.
-
70Powerful, funny romantic drama.
-
Grainy color stock and tight closeups give the film a realistic feel that's accentuated by natural performances from the able young cast.
-
60Isn't a good movie. It's drab, visually ugly and a little pokey...but the two heroines are so recognizable as real girls, and the young actresses who play them are so appealing, that you keep rooting for these kids.
-
50A light, breezy, often charming little film, with a good cast playing mostly shallow characters.
-
The film has some charm and a winning simplicity but not an iota of depth.
