Metacritic reviews

This is the rare movie that gets you to fall in love with characters you don't even like.

A wonderfully complex examination of sexual and material politics that's full of bravely provocative, gently funny, and warmly human encounters.

Moodysson captures exactly the preening narcissism and gumption of these frazzled would-be revolutionaries trying to wriggle out of their bourgeois straitjackets.

Funny gem.

A mordantly funny, clear-eyed view of an extended family's mounting dysfunction in a changing society.

It's a brilliant little microcosm of the '60s experience that, in a most gentle way, shows us how the counterculture probably was doomed from its inception.

Moodysson puts it across with a sincerity that's genuinely heartwarming, and he sets it all to a surprisingly good soundtrack culled from the Swedish rock (who knew?) of the era.

Together's portrait of its social moment is right-on.

The actors, mainly newcomers, have an improvisational freshness well matched to the freewheeling camera work.

A friendly movie, as scruffy and cozy as a woolen watch cap.
