Our take
You can’t know what to expect form Swedish director Lukas Moodysson, from the transgressive shock of Lilya 4-ever to the sweetness of We Are the Best!. He courted controversy with this, his English-language debut and a dark, uncompromising drama starring Michelle Williams and Gael Garcia Bernal.
