In Sweden the film generally receives positive reviews. However, because Kenneth 'Kenta' Gustafsson and Gustav 'Stoffe' Svensson are arrested at the premiere for causing a commotion, what they thought about the film is never revealed. See more »
Being young and revolt towards parents and society as in "They call us misfits" reminds us that there is no difference between youth then and youth now. Its messed up to be in the borderline between childhood and grownup adult. There is a thin line between documentary and fiction in this film but Stefan Jarl has captured the feeling more than actual events i guess. In the movie we meet actual kids who already has given up on life. Kids who know they are going to be alcoholics and drug users, they don't care. Hm.. who to blame? This film was first stopped from distribution because of a sex scene in the movie but was later released without surgery because Olof Palme (working for the Swedish socialist party until he was murdered in 1986) thought the film was important.
