Description

We Are the Best! is a story of three young misfit girls growing up in the early ‘80s Stockholm. Pixieish, mohawk-sporting Klara and her best friend Bobo are 13-year-old rebels looking for a cause. Despite having no instruments—or discernible musical talent—the two put all their energy into forming an all-girl punk band, recruiting their shy, classical guitar-playing schoolmate Hedwig as a third wheel. With tender affection for its young characters, We Are the Best! paints a joyous and sharply observant portrait of the rebellious spirit of youth and growing up different.

"VIBRANT, HILARIOUS AND POIGNANT. The best film in years from one of the planet’s greatest filmmakers." - Bilge Ebari, New York Magazine/Vulture

"A BLISSFULLY FUNNY FILM. Director Moodysson is masterly and there’s a magical sense of life caught on the fly. WHEN MEASURED BY THE PLEASURE IT CONFERS, "WE ARE THE BEST!" IS A BIG DEAL THAT WILL BE WINNING HEARTS—AND EVEN GROWNUP MINDS—FOR A LONG TIME TO COME." - Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

"AN EXHILARATING BLAST OF A MOVIE. TOTALLY IRRESISTIBLE. Director Moodysson sets fire to clichés and the three young stars are radically fierce and funny. PREPARE TO BE WOWED." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
