Show Me Love (AKA Fucking Amal) (1998)

Writer/Director: Lucas Moodysson

Stars: Rebecka Liljeberg, Alexandra Dahlstrom, Erica Carlson, Mathias Rust, Stefan Horberg, Josefine Nyberg



Agnes (Rebecka Liljeberg) loves Elin (Alexandra Dahlstrom), and Elin finally notices her. 



I've can't remember a film that more accurately and poignantly portrays the cruelties and humiliations teens can inflict on each other because they are so wrapped up in their own insecurities. 



The ending rang a little false, but it made me happy. 



The original Swedish title is so good, I don't understand why the US title is so fucking banal.
