At some point, Lukas Moodysson was supposed to become one of the best directors from Europe, even one of the best directors in the world, especially after the amazing ‘Lilja 4-ever’ but , apparently, something went wrong and we don’t hear much from him anymore. What happened was basically ‘Ett hål i mitt hjärta’. I mean, I did hear some rather bad things about this movie but I didn’t expect it to be so awful and it is not very often that I came across such a career-destroying disaster of a movie. Anyway, before this amazing piece of garbage, Moodysson started his career with this charming little teenage drama. To be honest, I wasn't completely blown away like I expected to be especially considering its impressive reputation, but it was still a very good flick. Indeed, even though I felt it was slightly too generic and predictable, it was still a touching story and all the young actors were all very convincing. To conclude, even though I don’t think it was really a masterpiece, it was really a decent directing debut, it was a solid teenage drama and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Lukas Modysson's work.
