Review of We Are the Best! (2013) by David F — 26 Feb 2015

Having seen the 2 so-called blockbusters of the year, Boyhood and Birdman, recently, I thought something rather different was called for, and this was it. Despite being in Swedish, but with English sub-titles, it was definitely worth watching.

Set in the 1980s, Bobo and Clara are two 13-year-old girls in love with punk music. They are rebels in a society that demand conformism. They can't play instruments; they don't even have instruments, but they start a band.

They enlist the help of another outsider from school, a Christian classical guitar player, and try to mold her into a punk. Highly entertaining.
