When depicting stories about young girls, filmmakers have a tendency to glitz them up with vibrant colors, pop hit soundtracks, and leading ladies so pretty and polished in their look they seem custom-made to be fashion dolls. With We Are The Best!, Swedish writer-director Lukas Moodysson rejects these flashy facades, instead offering a story of girlhood and friendship that is refreshingly authentic, captivating and sincere, not to mention a hell of a lot of fun.
