WE ARE THE BEST!

Stockholm 1982. A film about Bobo, Klara and Hedvig. Three 13-year old girls who roam the streets. Who are brave and tough and strong and weak and confused and weird. Who have to take care of themselves way too early. Who heat fish fingers in the toaster when mom is at the pub. Who start a punk band without any instruments, even though everybody says that punk is dead.

The sweet and moving thing about the film is that it lacks a simplistic cynical edge.

Lack of star names and that it lacks the visceral sense of drama that had defined...
