TRAILER
Provocative Swedish auteur Lukas Moodysson (Show Me Love, Together) returns with this raucous and ebullient tale of three preteen outcasts who form an all-girl punk band. Based on a graphic novel by Moodysson’s wife Coco and set in early 1980s Stockholm, We are the Best! is a paean to DIY culture and the need for revolt. Neglected or taken for granted at home and school, the three girls react by making themselves unignorable, and when they’re mocked for looking different, they demand centre stage. – Leeds International Film Festival 2013
