Directed by Lukas Moodysson

We Are The Best! is a wonderful film highlighting the ups and downs of being the person that you might not have expected to become: in other words, yourself. You don’t pick your genetics, you don’t pick who your parents are, and quite often, you don’t pick who your friends are. These things are all products of the inevitable nature of time, and this film looks at how these aren’t necessarily good or bad things: but it’s what you do with it all that really matters. The performances of the child actors were absolutely stellar: I have no idea how the director did it, but he has my utmost respect.
