New Swedish Kids Film 'We Are the Best' (2013) Review

Swedish director Lukas Moodysson was hailed as the new Ingmar Bergman when he released his beloved lesbian themed teenage drama 'Fucking Amal' in 1998. The comparison made no sense at all. Besides their shared nationality, there was not a single similarity between his lighthearted coming of age flick and Bergmans' moody, existential oeuvre. But even though Moodysson was far from the new Bergman, Fucking Amal was a fresh and catching debut. With his new feature 'Vi är bäst'! (2013) Moodysson returns to his success formula, after a couple of pretty dark movies. And it turned out to be his best in years, likely his best ever.
