Romeo + Juliet and Scream posters line the walls of the teens' bedrooms. Nearly every girl in the film has pencil-thin eyebrows. Though Åmal is culturally light-years behind the rest of the world, its culture is deliciously vintage. (Not to spoil it, but the movie has one of the best coming-out sequences I've ever seen.)Īs much as this is a queer love story, it's also a fascinating time capsule of the Y2K era in Sweden. A mean prank pulls the two into each other's orbits, and Elin fights against her desire for Agnes. One night, Agnes's parents force her to invite her cruel schoolmates over to celebrate her 16th birthday-including her secret crush Elin (Alexandra Dahlström), a chaotic teen who's falsely rumored to have slept around with tons of boys at school. All except for Agnes (Rebecka Liljeberg), a loner and rumored lesbian at school. They take drugs, drink, and party to have some semblance of a good time. Set in the tiny Swedish town of Åmal, the teens in the movie scratch out their own eyeballs due to extreme boredom. I wish I could have seen this film as a teen!

We need to protect the seals and sea lions alike, but boy does Andre freak me out! JASMYNE KEIMIG

Obviously playing off the popularity of movies like Free Willy, this film is waaaay less fun and iconic, opting for a goopy sentimentality that feels instantly forgettable. The youngest Whitney, Toni (Tina Majorino), has a particularly special bond with the creature, dancing with him, taking him to class, and sobbing when it's time for the animal to move back into its natural habitat. It follows the Whitney family's years-long relationship with a *seal they name Andre. Based on a true story about a seal with a predilection for entertaining humans, Andre is set in Rockport, Maine in the early 1960s. Unfortunately, this sea lion is the most interesting part of the movie. My pot-addled brain couldn't make sense of the sea mammal with a very human name-something about it made my stomach do several nauseous flips. While watching Andre, I realized that I've never really taken in the creature before trying to make it through this slog of a family movie. Courtesy of Paramount Home VideoOK, have you ever really looked at a sea lion? Its slick black eyes, nubby ears, wet-looking fur.
