This is coming of age and finding one's way. A drama about three girls, outcasts in their own way, who find their strength in rebellion and music. Without any musical experience, let alone education, they decide to start a band, mainly in opposition to some bullies from their school. They are joined by an outcast of another type, Hedvig, who comes from a Christian family. She influences both girls and is also influenced by them. At last they perform publicly and the consensus there is that they are the worst. However, they have gained enough confidence to confirm to themselves that they are the best.
Moodysson uses in this movie actors who seem to be unknown. It will be a pleasure to follow the career of the three girls; they perform with distinction and great credibility.
The script is, as I have learned, based on a graphic novel and works very well on its own The scene is set in the beginning od the 1980s. Only few clues indicate that the tale is not ageless, most spectacularly for present-day young viewers the use of land-line phones.
7/10
