Kiss Me (2011)

I just saw this yesterday, and was left with mixed emotions. The film has some qualities, but it doesn't really follow through. As others have pointed out, the film follows a very simple love story, and there's nothing wrong with that as long as it's well-executed, but this wasn't. Throughout the film I never really cared about the relationship, mostly because it wasn't developed enough to be interesting, but it I also didn't find the characters to be likable. Most of the screen time with the two leads is them either staring at each other or having sex, most of which doesn't further the story what so ever.

It's all very Swedish-film-y, if you wanted to you could probably make a drinking game out of every time a character breaks a long tense silence with -Du..?, and you are constantly reminded of the upper-middle-class-ness of the characters. Another thing that bothered me is that EVERY SINGLE ONE the characters smoke. It's not that I think it's bad, there's just no point of it, it doesn't bring anything to the movie and it isn't really realistic either. The most memorable scene for me is when they see deer in the woods, but I actually think the film would be better without it. It doesn't fit, it just looks as if they've taken left-over footage from a LOKA commercial and put it in for effect.

Basically, it's OK, but not more. The acting is uneven and the entire movie becomes nauseatingly predictable and over-emotional towards the second half. If you're only going to see one Swedish film with lesbians 'fucking åmål' is far superior.

Fmovies: I don't see how anyone could rate this movie poorly. It had a great plot and great actors. Too many times have I seen movies like this and they always turn out bad so it was great to see one that didn't follow the majority. Personally I found the actress that played Mia amazingly talented. She is able to show every emotion just through her big beautiful eyes. Throughout the movie her face would be devoid of any expression but her eyes showed everything. It was great. The only reason I gave a 9 out of 10 is because I speak English so I had to read subtitles and that takes away a bit from the greatness of the movie. I recommend it highly and you won't be disappointed.

Cons: English subtitles

Pros: Ruth Vega Fernandez (Mia) was exceptional. The playfulness between Mia and Frida. Basically everything was great about the movie. Even the cute kid brother Oskar and the fiancé.

YES, undoubtedly this is the one of the best romantic, emotional, touchy movie I have ever seen in my life.Amazing performance by Mia and Frida, magnificent landscape of Sweden and fluency and realness in every scene made me impatient, excited and happy throughout the film.The film is not just about a love story between two woman, it is also struggle for today's people who believe in true love.

On the one side Mia (Ruth Vega Fernandez) is a bit shy with Frida as normally at the beginning in their relationship.But after seeing honesty, warmth, sincerity in Frida's eyes, she began to look differently and gave her love for the Frida especially with her spectacular eyes.

On the other side Frida( Liv Mjönes) draws a character who is not afraid of being seen by everyone for her love for woman and she was also insistent about the possibility of a real love between tho woman.Moreover she also abandoned from her girlfriend and expected it from Mia in the same way.For this reason we see many Fridas in our today's world.

To sum up, love is everywhere and can be in every way and no one prevent it in real life.

Kiss Me fmovies. I'm more than surprised to see that the non-flattering comments are mostly made by Swedish viewers...? Anyway,I usually don't write reviews about movies I watch or about books that I read, but KYSS MIG is a movie that certainly drives your attention. I've watched the film 3 times and today I also bought the DVD. It's not all about lesbian love (which by itself is a catchy theme),it is mostly about choosing to follow unconventional paths in your life & have the guts to stand up for your choices & respect them. We have seen many films arguing with such issues, and KYSS MIG is one of the most well told: facts which the two partners have to face and how realistically are attributed through the dialogues. The story unravels so smoothly, the filming is captivating, the landscapes are romantic by their own, the hole atmosphere is so authentic. The flirting scenes (for which I wanted more)is the best part about this movie: you can almost catch the sexual tension between the two leads, it is so well done by reaching its climax with the love-making scenes, which are so believable. I cant see where the comments about morality fit in order to characterize it a good or a bad movie, although some users do. In real life you cheat & you get cheated, you dump & you get dumped, there is no guarantee for eternal love & devotion. Closing, I strongly believe that this is a must see film, especially by those who can appreciate the real life romanticism.

Kiss Me will tear your heart in pieces.

Films with a lesbian theme are often designed to make you root for the women in love, without any reservations. You are certain of the pair from the beginning. Imagine Me and You, a classic movie of this theme, even has you rooting for a marriage to end and an innocent man's heart to be broken.

Kiss Me doesn't romanticize the struggle these people go through. It shows the love, the passion and, most importantly, the pain. The pain of denying who you are and the pain of being betrayed and losing who you thought you were going to spend your life with. Because Kiss Me doesn't take these things lightly, my heart was breaking for each of the characters. As the story progresses with beauty and grace and without the rushed feeling of many love at first sight type movies, Mia starts to realize that there is only one way. Despite the sacrifices and the pain, there is one thing she has to do - And I bet you will find yourself realizing it with her.

Apart from the story being told with grace, beauty and a passion for every single character, the film is beautifully shot in the amazing scenery of the Scandinavian countries. An instant classic in movies with a lesbian theme, but a must see for everyone with a for romantic movies.

Love is love and every one have the right to love. It's a breathe taking movie about following ones heart and not necessarily following the "norm" or what is expected from us. The trailer doesn't do justice to how beautifully it was shot and how fantastic the acting was. Liv Mjönes and Ruth Vega Fernandez gives a prime example of brilliant acting. It was subtle, sweet, natural and believable. The story is solid and identifiable. The movie is gaining ground and will probably be distributed/shown in USA soon. I suggest seeing it/buying it. Absolutely great film. Overall, this is beautiful story with great acting.
