Niklas Pivic Swedish mid-90s film focusing on a 14-year-old girl in school in Stockholm. She rebels against her mother by wanting to be accepted by her the cool peers, i.e. the upstarts. She starts going out of character entirely in order to try and fit in with them, and not become the butt of their jokes and constant terror. Thus, she shuns the only - the most bullied - girl in her class. The tension gradually mounts towards the end of this school special, which is quite soft yet a laugh if you're Swedish. My only question is: who the hell lets their 14-year-old walk through all of the south of Stockholm on a mid-week night?

David Igra Although the film consequently depicts families of extreme standards, it still shows the tendencies of Swedish society. The ultra-strict family, now almost extinct as it was when the film was made, the hippie-like mother, irresponsible and seemingly with less maturity than her kids. Yet it captures, although somewhat unrealisticly, the reality for many young women of Sweden today. Not half as well as 'Fucking Åmål' but good enough to be worth a look.
