Plot

Laura and Christine are both 16 years old and best friends. But a young, more cosmopolitan girl, Maria, arrives at their school, and she proves to be mysterious and exciting. The relationship between the three takes an intense twist as Maria acknowledges bisexual encounters. For Laura, the new friendship upends the world she thought she knew.

Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an 83% approval rating, based on six reviews with an average rating of 6.67/10.[2]

GamesRadar said, "this blisteringly realistic Danish coming-of-age drama is smarter than most and superbly performed – parental bust-ups, excruciating seductions and all."[3] The London Evening Standard called it "a mostly vacant film. But very pretty."[4] The Guardian says, "The ending is a smidge pat, but there's much to savour, especially the impressive performances of the young cast."[5]

Autostraddle listed the film at 78 on its ranking of the 103 best lesbian films of all time.[6]

gollark: Also, please stop accusing me of writing 11, people, it's actually quite bad.
gollark: Oh, neat.
gollark: Regarding 14, do you REALLY think I would use LOW-LEVEL things like bitops?
gollark: I'm sure you'd like to think so.
gollark: I didn't either, I would put the right amount of spacing in.
