_____
A story about a homosexual teenager called Agnes. She doesn't have a lot of friends in her town and she hates her life. One day, at her birthday party, her crush Elin kisses her. She's very popular and she tells the whole school about Agnes's being a lesbian. However, Elin feels very guilty about it all.
_____
I liked it, but I don't think it's a great movie. The plot was sweet but a bit predictable. The actors were great. I think it's a bit overrated: people tend to think that non-English movies are better than English movies, so they rate it higher.
_____
Agnes: If this is the best you can do, don't bother. Go home, and keep your perfume. We just pretend to be friends because there's no one else to be with. You know what the most boring thing I've ever done is? When you took me to that wheelchair basketball game in Karlstad. I don't want to be friends with a palsied cripple who listens to Backstreet Boys or whatever shit you listen to.
