FINALLY got in! Whew! It took a while for me to activate my account...lemme see..

Hey there. I'm raH. I knew about Fucking Amal but never had the chance to see this site on the film's prime. Now after 10 years, I get to rewatch it again and rekindle my love for the film, and for Lukas. Tee hee. Anyhow, have a nice day y'all!

No you're definitely not alone. It has taken me about two weeks to recover from the incredibly powerful shock waves generated in my life by this film. I had no idea that anyone could even make a movie this good, on such a minuscule budget. Some of the Hollywood guys spending tens of millions on films with dazzling special effects (ahem George Lucas) should just throw in the towel, because they cannot hold a candle to the likes of FÅ. They should sign up at the Lukas Moodysson School of Film. I guess it pays to be a published writer before you take on movie scripts. It's funny, but George Lucas's first film, THX1138, was also low-budget, but in some ways much better than the later ones which made him so famous.

Just like OEB said in his review, it has also become very difficult for me to go back to watching my other favorite movies and shows after seeing FÅ. It's probably a lot like having to watching movies in black and white again, when you just got your first taste of color.

It's like the film takes you to another world, but it's still one that you know, deep down inside, somehow. This has got to be my all-time favorite movie.

I watched FÅ THREE TIMES the first night I saw it on NetFlix (thank goodness I had the next day off work). Then I went and bought it on DVD from Amazon two or three days later. I had even stopped buying DVD's several years ago, because there were so few movies that I actually wanted to see multiple times. In fact, my new criteria for rating a movie 5/5 stars is that it has to be outstanding, PLUS good enough that I want to watch it more than once or twice. I doubt FÅ will ever get old to me.

I had seen Lilja 4-Ever a couple years ago, but that was the only Moodysson movie on NetFlix. I wish I would have sought out more of his films then!

hi everybody *:)* I just registered, my name ist Lars (not Larsen though :D ), I live in Dresden/Germany and I love Fucking Amal (who doesn't?). I first saw FA years ago in a small cinema in Berlin. I remember that I liked the film but it did not "hit" me rightaway. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon FA on Youtube - and I was overwhelmed. Watched it a couple of times since then, also Sherdil, Bear's Kiss, Närkontakt and those few clips from Eva & Adam and Sunes Jul.

I'm an Agnes-adict, as you probably have guessed by now - no offence to Elinians :D

Welcome Lars.
It sounds like you've already seen most of Rebecka's films but we all live in hope that one day there'll be more.
As for being an Agnes-addict, you'll find you have plenty of company here.
