We Are The Best! - 2013

We Are The Best! - 2013 - 6/10
AKA - Vi är Bäst!

 
In the 80's, three girls form a punk band, though obits for punk are already fading yellow.
One is frustrated, another rebellious, the third quiet, though possessing actual musical ability.
Viewers with a passing familiarity of The Shaggs may know what to expect, sonic wise.
The girls are young, two are 13, one may be 14, a horrible age, bucking peer pressure and walls.
Not a coming of age film, and not necessarily feel-good.
Despite their language, the girls still retain the grace of childhood which draws sympathy.
Captures that moment of adolescence before opportunities expand, while other choices disappear.
